Ecole Moser Geneva
Trilingual (French, German, English) private school in Chene-Bougeries, unique in Switzerland for offering both the IB Diploma and Swiss Maturite to the same students simultaneously. Named Best European International School by Education View in 2024. Annual fees for 2025-2026 run…
In brief
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.
