When English is taught in private schools, the classes are often made up of children from very different international backgrounds and cultures. The children are usually taught bilingually. This means that some subjects are taught in English and others in German. The ratio is usually fifty to fifty. There are a few private schools that only teach in English. Learning English from an early age can only prove to be very beneficial for the children. This is because they will have far better chances and numerous opportunities on the job market later in life.

Due to globalization, the international economy and increasing numbers of foreigners in Switzerland, the English language is becoming increasingly important, as it is usually chosen as the language of communication for international parties in business life. But English is also becoming increasingly important in private life, e.g. when using a PC. Above all, parents whose mother tongue is English often want their children to learn English from scratch, both written and spoken, at private schools. In addition to the English language, English-language private schools also cover English culture and history in detail. If you are looking for specific offers or information on English private schools, you will find a clear list of the most important and renowned English private schools in Switzerland on the education portal Ausbildung-Weiterbildung.ch.
