Discover the French School of Basel
Founded in 1884, the Ecole Française de Bâle (French School of Basel) was the first French school created abroad. It welcomes your children from 3 months to 12 years old. Located on two sites, our school consists of a daycare, a preschool & kindergarten section (maternelle), an elementary section and a 6th grade.

Through our quality of teaching and our openness to the world, we offer an international audience access to French culture and its educational model.
