Enroling for 2023-2024
We are now enroling for the 2023-2024 academic year.
British Curriculum
The rounded, results-focused British Education System is the most widespread curriculum taught in international schools across the world.
We follow the broad, balanced British curriculum, delivering an “Internationally British” education in English to children aged 5 to 18.
STEAM Activities
As a STEAM School, we are dedicated to offering our students a wide-range of opportunities to allow each student to develop their skills and pursue their individual interests.
Outdoor Education
Our students participate in a planned progression of outdoor experiences that will take place in Sweden.
Family Engagement
Faculty and staff, in partnership with parents, strive to provide an inclusive and responsive education that guides students towards success
Our partnership approach
Close communication is at the core of our partnership approach. Keeping parents in the loop about their children’s progress is an essential part of what we do.
Our policy is to place students in their age-appropriate grade level. We also take into consideration a student’s previous school experience. This is done on a case by case basis looking at formal years of schooling rather than ability in subject areas.
