Les Coquelicots is the pioneer of Franco-German bilingualism in the Basel region. Founded in 2006, we now offer a complete bilingual education for children from the age of 2 up to and including primary school.
Our mission?
The school aims to be a place of learning and development for every child. Diversity, inclusion and listening to each individual are our pillars. Our aim is to help our pupils progress through their school careers while stimulating their desire to learn, their adaptability and their self-confidence.
Our strengths are :

- Small class sizes: We encourage learning in a warm, family atmosphere and ensure a personalised approach for your child.
- Central location: The school is strategically located just a few minutes from the SBB station and the city centre, with a large park nearby where children can enjoy nature and leisure activities every day.
