ELA has two beautiful locations in Basel:

ELA Basel offers education based on the British curriculum. The school was founded in 1993 and has around 250 students up to 12 years old.

The ELA Basel Community
We pride ourselves on fostering a close-knit community where family values and meaningful connections between students, teachers, and parents thrive. Since our establishment in 1993, we have offered a varied and inclusive academic programme. Tailored to provide individual attention, empowering each child to grow into the best version of themselves.
Academic programmes, learning support, and after-school activities
With strong parent-staff communication, our experienced team—many of whom have been with us for years—ensures continuity and care from Early Years through Primary Years. Combining education and enrichment in one convenient location, we provide not only excellent academic programmes but also learning support, after-school activities, music lessons, vacation programmes, and even a vibrant Saturday morning theatre school, all under one roof.
“Since 1993, we have been nurturing young minds in the heart of Basel. We offer a bilingual programme at our Early Years/Kita and a comprehensive primary education based on the British curriculum at our second campus.”
A well-established After School Programme
Our comprehensive After School Programme and 30 weekly Enrichment Programmes offer a wealth of opportunities to suit every interest. From sports, art, and STEM to music, retro gaming, HIIT sessions, language support, and so much more, there is something to inspire every young mind.
Additionally, we provide English classes for non-ELA Basel children on Wednesday afternoons, helping them build confidence in an engaging and supportive environment.
