International School of Lund

ISLK is committed to creating an environment of equal opportunities that promotes understanding, respect, and social responsibility. Its vision is to foster a community of lifelong learners who reach their full potential, with a focus on developing the intellectual, personal, emotional, and social skills necessary to succeed in a changing world. The school emphasizes inquiry-based learning and learner agency, encouraging students to take responsibility for their education.

The school offers a continuum of IB programmes, including the Early Years Programme (EYP) for children aged 2 to 4, the Primary Years Programme (PYP) for ages 5 to 10 (PYP1–PYP6), and the Middle Years Programme (MYP) for ages 11 to 15 (MYP1–MYP5). The curriculum is inquiry-based and concept-driven, with English as the language of instruction. The PYP incorporates six transdisciplinary themes, while the MYP continues the IB framework for older students.

The school employs a dedicated Student Support Team, including student support coordinators for both the PYP and MYP, a school nurse, and a student support counsellor. These staff members work closely with teachers to implement strategies for support in the classroom and address student wellbeing. Students with significant educational needs that require a one-to-one learning situation outside the classroom or a moderated programme are not eligible for admission.

Admission is prioritized for international families moving to the Lund region for a limited time, families who have attended international schools abroad, and families with verified plans to move abroad within one to two years. The school is funded by the City of Lund, meaning there are no tuition fees, though families are recommended to live within the municipality. Applications are assessed individually based on criteria set by the Swedish Education Act, and students with significant educational needs that cannot be met within the school's standard differentiation are not eligible for admission.

The school follows an academic year structure, with specific dates and holidays provided to the community via the school's internal platforms. Parents can access information regarding the academic calendar and school routines through the school's portal.

The school is located at Linnégatan 2, 224 60 Lund, situated close to the Botanical Garden. The campus serves students from pre-school through the Middle Years Programme.

The school provides an After School Programme (ASP) designed for children whose parents work or study full-time and require care outside of regular school hours. This programme is an ongoing part of the school day for eligible students.
