When should I pay for a YL course?
For Young Learner courses, you can receive an invoice either termly or annually. Each payment must be made within 10 days of the postmark of the invoice, and before the beginning of the term.
Payments can be made either by payment slips (BVR), credit card (Visa or Mastercard), or bank transfer.

How can I arrange a school tour?
We always recommend that parents take a tour of our facilities to get a feel for the safe and supportive environment we create at Bell.
Due to safeguarding, tours are restricted to afternoon sessions (excluding Wednesdays), to avoid times when students will be in class. To make an appointment, please contact us and we will arrange a time that suits your schedule.

Where do most of your students come from?
We welcome students from over 20 nationalities, some are English native speakers and others learn English as a second language. This diversity enables everyone to learn together in a positive and supportive environment, allowing the children to progress faster and more successfully.
-
What is the main language used in class?
The main language for our programmes is English, with the exception of our Nursery 1 (Bilingual) programme that have lessons in French on alternate weeks.
-
What is the average class size?
The average class size is around 8 children and the absolute maximum is 15 children in Nursery 1. It is incredibly important to us to maintain outstanding care and attention for the children and this has been Bell’s trademark in Switzerland.
-
Do you have a settling/adaptation period?
The adaptation period is comprehensive and conducted in stages to ensure your child is fully relaxed and happy in their new surroundings. Our nursery registration entitles you and your child to a period of 2 weeks with incremental session time to slowly ease the process, and we will work with you if more time is needed.
