School costs

The school association for Freies Gymnasium Zürich (Schulverein für das Freie Gymnasium Zürich) is guided by business principles and uses tuition fees to finance the running of the school. The association does not receive any financial contributions from the canton. Tuition fees depend on the education path. In addition, there are one-off and annual ancillary costs.
