There are no free international schools in Switzerland. If it is in English and follows an international curriculum, it is 100% private. The closest option is SIS (Swiss International School) at CHF 15k – 25k, but still far from free. Tuition is just the starting point — registration fees, deposits and expedition fees are additional.
