Fryshuset School

Fryshuset Gymnasium is built on the belief that every student has a significant role and the potential to contribute value to the school environment. The educational approach is grounded in scientific research and emphasizes the importance of passion, meeting diverse people, and fostering a positive view of the student's ability to take responsibility. The school strives to create a safe, creative, and interactive atmosphere inspired by the legacy of founder Anders Carlberg.

The school offers a wide array of programmes, including the Aesthetic Programme (with specializations in Theatre, Music Production, Musicianship, Aesthetics & Media, and Art & Design), the Economics Programme, and the Sales & Service Programme. It also provides the Natural Science and Social Science programmes, as well as various introductory programmes for students lacking primary school grades. Additionally, the school features adapted upper secondary education and specialized tracks for students with AST, including game design.

The school aims for every student to develop knowledge and abilities based on their individual potential, while fostering curiosity, understanding of others, and a sense of responsibility for the world. Graduates are expected to have gained valuable contacts and networks, with many programmes providing direct preparation for university studies or immediate entry into the workforce. The school actively works toward the 17 Global Goals for sustainable development.

The school offers extensive support for students with special educational needs, including specialized pedagogical profiles for students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (AST). These programmes are available in small-group settings, either for parts of the day or full-time, and are also provided within the adapted upper secondary school (anpassad gymnasieskola). A dedicated student health team (elevhälsan) is available to support student well-being throughout their education.

Prospective students can apply for admission or transfer to the school via an online form on the website, where they may also upload their grades for processing. The school provides guidance for those interested in reservantagning (waiting list admission) and programme transfers. For specific inquiries regarding the application process or leave requests, applicants are directed to contact the school administration via email.

Located in Hammarby Sjöstad, Stockholm, the school operates within two buildings covering 24,000 square metres. The campus includes specialized facilities tailored to its aesthetic programmes, such as stages, art studios, and dedicated spaces for music, dance, and podcast production. Additionally, the site houses a library and various learning environments designed to support both creative and academic pursuits.

The school emphasizes "passions" as a core component of the student experience, allowing pupils to integrate personal interests into their studies to foster engagement and individual expression. Students have access to a school newspaper, "Frysen," and are encouraged to participate in various meetings and activities within the broader Fryshuset environment and the local community. These opportunities are designed to build networks and provide experiences beyond the traditional classroom setting.
