After school programme à la carte

Competent and caring supervision of our students outside lessons is an integral part of our concept. We are happy to help you organise your family’s work, school and leisure activities efficiently.

Morning supervision

Children can arrive at school starting at 8 a.m. and play with their classmates or prepare for the day. Lessons commence at 8:30 a.m.

Lunch

A balanced and healthy meal is prepared by our cook every day for all children in our Kindergarten and Primary School who do not bring their own food from home. Lunch is served in summer outside in the courtyard and inside in winter. Playtime thereafter is always supervised.

Afternoon supervision

Spoilt for choice: experienced and motivated staff are responsible for our extensive range of afternoon activities. The different clubs (see box) are not only fun, but also promote social competence, empowerment, personal responsibility and creativity. Our clubs are freely accessible – the children can try them out and switch between clubs within the school year. Children can choose to take part depending on their strengths and they have an opportunity to experience success alone or as part of a team.

We are also happy to organise piano and guitar lessons at our school for your child.

Children are moreover free to use the school grounds to play or enjoy something creative in the afternoons: climbing frames, table tennis, chess and all sorts of crafting materials are available. We also have rabbits on our school premises in Kleinhüningen.

School bus

Our school bus generally runs inside the city of Basel. Flexible options are available for families interested in door-to-door transport. Please contact us!

Sport

The Academia Wolves demonstrate their athletic skills in various team sports during matches in our school or against other school teams, where they not only learn how to win and lose, but also get to know team spirit and fair play.

Camp

Years 4 to 6 go on a ski camp every winter and an outdoor adventure camp is organised for years 3 and above in summer. These events take place during the school year.

Supervision during school holidays

We also offer attractive programmes for all age groups during many of the school holidays.
