Vasa International School of Stockholm provides a uniquely international learning experience by being an IB World School. We offer the PYP and MYP as a Bilingual programme.
We also offer an early start to the PYP programme through our preIB class, which students can attend when they are five years old.
For PYP and MYP as a fully English programme see our sister school International School of Kungsholmen.
Our Bilingual Programme provides a rich learning environment where students grow confident using both Swedish and English. The class teacher teaches in Swedish, the class assistant is English-speaking and the specialist teachers (such as PE, Art, and Music) teach in English. This natural mix of languages helps students develop fluency in both.
The classes follow the Swedish national curriculum (Lgr22) in combination with the International Baccalaureate Programme, giving students a strong foundation in both academic excellence and international-mindedness.
The Bilingual Programme is ideal for families who want their child to thrive in both Swedish and English – academically, socially, and culturally.
Students gain the benefits of a Swedish education while developing English skills through daily exposure the English language. This dual-language environment helps children become confident communicators and adaptable learners with a global outlook.
It’s a great choice for families who want their child to be prepared for both Swedish and international opportunities in the future.
Vasa International School of Stockholm is open to all. However, given that we cultivate an international environment, we recommend that students have good knowledge of English.
We provide after school care for our PYP Year 1 to Year 4 students, förskolklassen to årskurs 3 in the Swedish system. Activities here are the equivalent of Sweden’s “fritidshem”.
Late admissions take place in June, August and January each year, as well as throughout the year depending on the availability of places but if you are an expat who has just come to the country then please contact us to see if there are available seats any time in the academic year.
