Learning at Swiss private schools

Over 100,000 young people from more than 100 countries are taking a clever approach to their learning. They have placed their trust in one of the over 200 schools that belong to the Federation of Swiss Private Schools (FSPS). Swiss private schools cover a wide range of educational pathways – from pre-school to primary school, to baccalaureate school and through to higher education institution. The federation also encompasses language schools and holiday courses, as well as job-related continuing education and training.

A clever approach to learning

FSPS schools appeal to learners and students from Switzerland and abroad. Competent and committed teachers accompany young people in pursuit of their educational goals – individually, respectfully and with foresight.

FSPS schools represent professional expertise, individualised support and pedagogical innovation. All members are either certified in accordance with a nationally or internationally recognised quality assurance system, or else  are regularly assessed as part of the federation’s internal quality control.

Those wishing to learn wisely, choose quality – and find it at an FSPS school.
