The Enrolment Fee of CHF 4,000 per student is due for each student new to ISB or returning to ISB after an absence of more than 14 calendar months.

The Board of Directors has approved a 2% increase in tuition fees across all sections for the academic year 2019-20 with the exception of the Intensive Needs Programme.

The fee increase will ensure that operational costs as well as the investments necessary to maintain and further develop the academic quality of the school remain adequately funded. At the same time, this fee increase still keeps ISB at a very competitive level of tuition commensurate with fees charged by comparable international schools in Switzerland and abroad.

Payment is required prior to the first day of school.

Please beware of email hacking and attempted fraud

Cyber criminals are becoming more sophisticated and are targeting private schools around the world sending unsuspecting parents fake invoices and emails. Please read the guidelines about communications you can expect from International School Basel (ISB) in regards to fees and invoices.

Tuition costs paid by the Canton Baselland to ISB

Please note that a vote in September 2017 decided that no subsidy will be made for private school students by the Canton Baselland as of 2017/18 school year onwards unless they fall under the category “Hardship Cases”. However, private school students who received the subsidy in the school year 2016-17 will continue to receive contributions during a transitional period of two years, for 2017/18 and 2018/19.
