There are a million questions that come up during an international move, and one of the most pressing for families is: Where do I send my kids to school? This is no simple question. Finding and vetting schools and arranging enrollment can be a challenge, and the choice of a school can shape a family’s social life and cultural adjustment.
Family & Kids - German Lessons
Laure Audidière is our Family & Kids contributor, giving you practical tips and tricks on what to do in Basel as a family. This segment is all about German lessons with daycare.
There are, of course, any number of options out there; here's a selection that Laure tried out: Academia is probably the most well-known; daycare is CHF 15.- per hour. For slightly cheaper daycare, try ECAP, K5 or ABSM (a PDF in English is here).
Or then try conversation groups at Centrepoint, Unternehmen Mitte, Cafe Frühling or Blabla.
Remember, if you are newly arrived and have a B residency permit, you can attend up to 80 free German lessons during your first year in the canton, using Basel City vouchers. Check that big envelope you received from the immigration office.
