Students at the Grüninger School in Thalwil

The transition to a new school is an important decision for children and parents. At the Grüninger Schule, we support this process attentively, personally, and with plenty of time for questions. In a safe and supportive environment, we get to know your child and work together to determine whether our school is the right place for their future education.

What students would most benefit from our school?

Our school is a place for children who naturally enjoy learning or want to rediscover that experience. Many of our students didn't find the support they needed in mainstream schools, whether due to learning difficulties or because they didn't feel comfortable in their social environment. Perhaps you, too, sense that your child is getting lost in their current setting, even though they are actually curious and eager to learn when the conditions are right. At our school, children will find the safe haven of a small, supportive community. Here, they can develop their potential, build confidence, and learn at their own pace.

  • School fees 2025/26

    The costs for a school year at the Grüninger Schule are calculated as follows:

    Tuition fees: CHF 34,200.–

    Material costs: CHF 700.–

    Total amount per school year: CHF 34,900.–

    Tuition and material costs can be paid as an annual, quarterly, or monthly invoice.

    Because our Grüninger Schule is a private school, costs are only covered by the municipality of residence in exceptional cases. Whether coverage of these costs is possible depends on your municipality of residence and your child's individual circumstances.

    If you have any questions about finance or clarifications with your particular municipality, we will be happy to offer you personalised advice.
