ELABasel – The Swiss British School Basel is a not-for-profit, two-campus international school serving Kita, Primary and Secondary students from ages 0 to 18. It offers two curriculum pathways: the Cambridge International Curriculum (leading to IGCSE and A-Levels) taught mainly in English, and a bilingual Swiss stream aligned with Lehrplan 21 for direct transfer into the Swiss system. German is taught from Pre-School to Year 7 and French from Year 3, while the Cambridge stream provides an internationally portable qualification. The school's Basel locations, Gartenstrasse 93 and St. Alban‑Vorstadt 32, host modern, child-centered learning spaces, including a dedicated STEM emphasis, arts facilities, and the Scala Theatre Basel for performances. An extensive Afterschool and Enrichment Programme runs until 18:00, with activities in coding, sports, music, and language. Distinctive features include the annual Scala musical, ABRSM music exams, and a bilingual program that supports long-term planning across local and international settings for families.
