Families
The Parents and Family platform contains all the information necessary to combine family responsibilities with your new position at Unifr.
If you are moving to Switzerland with your family, you may need to apply for family reunification.
Daycare
There are various daycare options you can choose from. As the spots are limited, you will probably need to go through a waiting list. Be sure to allow enough time and register as soon as possible. The cost of daycare depends on each situation as the fee is tailored to each family’s income and circumstances.

School
Children are required to go to school for 11 years (from the age of 4 to the age of 15). Children generally attend the school that is closest to their place of residence. The public-school system is secular and free, and it offers quality education in French and/or German. Please contact the school authorities if you have any questions.
Should you wish for your children to attend an English-speaking or international school, you may investigate private and international schools around Fribourg.
