The low ends are mostly part-time or early-years places. Not in the Zurich range: Polo scolastico italo-svizzero (CHF 1,200 is a voluntary parents’ contribution, not tuition). Fees quoted by the month or semester are not converted and are not in these ranges.

How the data was collected

  • What: tuition and one-off fees as each school publishes them, word for word, with the school year it states. The lowest and highest figure and their unit (a year, a month or a semester) are listed only where the school states numbers; nothing is converted, so a monthly fee stays monthly.
  • From where: each school’s own fee page or price list, linked in every row. Where a school publishes no fees, the row links to the page that was checked.
  • When: all pages checked on 21 October 2026. “2026–27” includes price lists valid from 1 August 2026 and the Japanese School’s April 2026 to March 2027 year; earlier years are shown as published.
  • Which schools: the schools in our four city guides: those on the cantonal lists of approved private schools that teach in English or another foreign language, or bilingually. Cities and schools are in alphabetical order; there is no ranking.
  • Not included: lunch, transport, after-school care, trips and exam fees, unless the school includes them in tuition. Capital, enrolment and registration fees are in their own column. “Not published” means the school gives no fees online, or only on request.
