Stockholm International School is the only school in Stockholm to offer a truly international education from preschool-grade 12. It draws its students from the business, diplomatic and research community for whom Stockholm is an international hub. Average student tenure is around three years, though many students stay longer and some are with us for only a few months. Swedish nationals comprise some 30% of the student body and most of these students have been in other international schools around the world. There is no boarding facility and all students travel to school daily, some by foot or bicycle, many by bus and train and a proportion are brought by car or in taxis organized and pooled by the diplomatic community.

This is intended to provide general information. Prospective users of the schools may wish to inquire further of A/OPR/OS or contact the school directly for more specific and up-to-the-minute information. Information and statistics are current as of September 2022 and provided by the school.

NOTE: School situations can change quickly, particularly as schools face cutbacks to learning support programs due to the pandemic, unrest, and economic uncertainty. For the most current information, work with the REO and school. Information in this document was collected by the Department of State’s Office of Overseas Schools directly from the school in fall 2022 and shows the availability of services rather than an assessment of the quality of the services. The profile is intended as a jumping off point for a conversation with the REO and school to understand the best fit for your child. Definitions may vary school to school.
