Founded

A family-run Geneva institution since 1961, Moser is built around the Swiss Maturité and well known for getting students through it. The pull is academic rigour in a small, personal setting.

The Chêne-Bougeries campus runs from age 8 to 18 and the school became the first private establishment in French-speaking Switzerland to win federal recognition for its cantonal Maturité in 2019. Three Maturité tracks sit on offer at the upper secondary college: bilingual German, bilingual English, or French. IB and Cambridge tracks coexist alongside it. Around 770 students across the school keeps year groups manageable.

Families value the daily after-school appuis from 3.45 to 5.00, where pupils book time directly with subject teachers. Small classes and individualised pacing show up consistently in parent feedback. The school is family-run by the Moser family, three generations in, and the human-scale feel reflects that. Fees of CHF 19,500 to 27,500 sit at the lower end for Geneva private schools, which matters in a city where the international names easily push past 35,000.
