International School Basel (ISB) — Basel, Switzerland
School type: International (IB World School) · IB Programmes: PYP, MYP, DP · Live coaching in CET (Central Europe)
International School Basel is located in Reinach, south of Basel, serving the pharmaceutical and life-sciences expat community that defines the Basel region. Novartis, Roche, Lonza, and Syngenta are all headquartered within 20 km, and ISB enrols over 1,400 students from 50+ nationalities.
ISB offers IB Biology at HL and SL with a distinctive life-sciences emphasis driven by the local industry context. Many ISB parents work in drug discovery, clinical research, or biotechnology, which creates a school culture where Biology HL is a prestige subject. The school hosts an annual Science Week with guest lectures from Basel pharma researchers.
ISB graduates regularly place at Swiss federal universities, UK medical schools, and US research universities. The school's Science Department collaborates with the Biozentrum (University of Basel) for extended essay supervision and IA project mentorship.
Sourced from publicly available rankings, the school's own annual diploma results communications, and the IB Organization's programme authorisations.
ISB graduates approximately 90 IB Diploma candidates annually. Biology HL enrolment is proportionally higher than the global average, reflecting the pharma-industry parent demographic.
ISB reports strong placements at University of Basel Medicine, ETH Zurich, UK Russell Group medical schools (Imperial, UCL, Edinburgh), and US T30 universities. The pharma-corridor connection gives ISB biology graduates distinctive application narratives.
We match ISB's DP calendar with sessions calibrated to their internal assessment milestones. IA mentorship starts in DP1 to leverage the school's Biozentrum partnership for research-design guidance.
