A springboard to an international future

Ever since the Swedish School opened its doors in 1907, we’ve given our students a Swedish education in a bicultural setting. Our two campuses in Barnes and Kew offer a nurturing environment, and our core value of building confidence through creativity is at the heart of everything we do. We take great pride in the fact that our students see the world as their oyster and theirs to explore.

A life changing education

Our distinctive approach, which centres on the holistic development of the individual, equips our students for long-term success. Being recognised as Ofsted Outstanding for 14 consecutive years underscores our commitment to excellence, and our academic achievements further exemplify our dedication to quality education. Moreover, students consistently perform above the national average in Sweden, enabling them to pursue their dreams and careers internationally.

An overwhelming majority goes on to higher education, with a significant number gaining acceptance into prestigious universities, including the University of Cambridge, the University of St Andrews, the London School of Economics, Imperial College, King’s College, Warwick Business School, the University of Nottingham, Princeton University, Sorbonne University, Erasmus University Rotterdam, Stockholm School of Economics (Handelshögskolan), KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Chalmers University of Technology, and more.
