Our Vision
Our Faculty and Staff, in partnerships with parents, strive to provide an inclusive and responsive Education that guides students towards academic success and self-advocacy.
Our Mission
Our British International School in Sweden (BIS) will provide a comprehensive and challenging Swedish and international education that fosters informed and engaged local, regional and global citizenship.
How to apply
Choosing a school for your child is one of the most important decisions you will make as a parent. Every school has its own queue. You can place your child in the queue from 1 February the year after they were born.
Join the Queue
After filling out the form you will receive an email confirming the date on which your child was registered in the queue for your school of choice.
We strive to create a disciplined, safe, happy and caring atmosphere that encourages students to be responsible, confident, compassionate, and well-informed citizens who contribute to their local and international community.
Best teachers
All our teachers are highly qualified and have a high level of professional experience that is imperative to maintain the high standards of our education.
STEAM Activities
STEAM education extends beyond the classroom to embrace a wide range of extra-curricular activities. These include sports, nature trips, arts and crafts and exploratory excursions.
Before & After School Activities
These programmes are not mandatory but we highly encourage students to participate in them as they are areas of learning not strictly developed in the classroom but that add value to individual competency.
Family Engagement
We want the best for your child, and by working in partnership we can successfully enrich your child’s journey through BIS. Close communication is the core of our partnership approach.
Parent-Teacher Association
As a parent (or guardian) of a student enrolled in BIS you are automatically a member of the PTA. We look forward to your involvement in our many wonderful projects planned for you and your child throughout the year.
Why a STEAM Education?
we face the challenges of both globalization and a knowledge-based economy. To succeed in this new information-based and highly technological society, students need to develop their capabilities in STEAM.
Community-Based Learning
Students to learn in their communities. Community-based learning helps students acquire, practice, and apply subject matter, knowledge and skills.
Child Protection
STEAM Education is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All our STEAM schools have a code of conduct, a child protection policy, and procedures which support this commitment.

For our youngest students, the language of instruction is mostly Swedish. The amount of lessons taught in English increases during the years with up to 50% being taught in English in the higher grades.
As they move through the school and gain confidence, additional foreign and mother tongue languages are also introduced, enabling students to further develop their linguistic abilities.
We value the diversity of our community and understand the importance of supporting language learning both inside and outside the curriculum. Our Mother Tongue Programme offers a way of further progressing your child’s language development.
The programme consists of a range of Mother Tongue Classes held after school – the programme is open to native or near-native speakers from Year 1 to 9.
Mother Tongue classes are for children who have already had a substantial amount of exposure to a language, this could be through attending school in another country or using it daily with family members.
In our multi-cultural, international environment, instilling a respect for different languages and cultures is paramount to much of what we do.
Learning new languages helps to create understanding and encourage a respect for others. Young children engage naturally with language in a way that we as adults often envy
The programme consists of a range of Mother Tongue Classes held after school – the program is open to native or near-native speakers from Year 1 to 9.
Children start by learning Swedish from the age of four, developing both their language skills and an appreciation of their home country.
We deal with children of all levels, from those who do not speak or understand a word, to those who simply need a little extra support with spelling or grammar. We are very practised in assessing children coming from different educational backgrounds and systems and being aware of how that can initially impact on their learning in the classroom.
Our staff are extremely experienced in welcoming children and parents from all around the world for whom English is not their mother tongue.
