Internationella Engelska Skolan Solna

The school is built on three core pillars: a command of both Swedish and English, high academic expectations for all students, and a safe, orderly environment. It emphasizes traditional educational values, clear rules, and routines, believing that structure and safety are essential prerequisites for effective learning. The school is committed to continuous quality improvement and fostering an international perspective.

The school follows the Swedish national curriculum, with up to half of the instruction delivered in English by qualified teachers from English-speaking countries. It offers a bilingual education, with modern foreign language options such as Spanish, French, and German. Additionally, the school is a registered associate of Cambridge Assessment International Education, offering students the opportunity to pursue extra international qualifications like the Cambridge IGCSE.

The school aims to help every student reach their full potential, regardless of their background. Students are prepared for an international environment, with many achieving high academic results. The school monitors performance through national tests and internal quality assessments to ensure grading integrity and academic success.

The school employs dedicated student health and care teams, including school doctors, nurses, counsellors, psychologists, and special educators. These teams work alongside teachers to support student development, health, and learning, and to identify needs quickly. Extra help and support sessions are available outside of regular lessons for students who need additional assistance or greater challenges.

Admission is based on a queue system, with places offered in order of registration date. Families can join the queue from 1 February in the year after a child is born. While sibling priority may apply, there are no entrance exams or selection tests. The school is free to attend, as it is funded through the Swedish tax system and the school voucher.

The academic year typically begins in August. Specific dates, such as the first day of term and open house events, are managed at the individual school level and communicated to families via the school's internal systems.

Facilities vary by location but generally include classrooms, libraries, and designated recreation areas. Some campuses feature a closed, fenced-in environment to ensure safety, with outdoor spaces used for supervised play and social activities during breaks. Schools also provide nutritious, healthy lunches for students.

The school offers a variety of activities during breaks and after school, which may include sports, chess, music, and reading circles. Some schools provide 'Fritids' and Junior Club for care before and after the school day. Students also participate in events such as choir competitions, football tournaments, and workshops with visiting authors.
