After a very pleasant and clarifying conversation with the director, everything was resolved perfectly. Sometimes misunderstandings simply occur, but humanity and mutual understanding always come first. Thank you so much for listening and for the friendly solution!

Great school. We moved from a different international school and my daughter improved a lot academically in all subjects only in Academia. Small classes, good attention. After living in 6 countries and having a bad experience in another international school in Basel and then going through all international schools in the area - Academia is the best choice in Basel and one of the best school from my family's travel experience.

Upon visiting Academia, we were immediately impressed by the enthusiasm, open-mindedness and receptiveness we perceived from both staff and teachers. In particular, the Academic Director has continually impressed us with her dedication to creating a s...
