For ages 16-19

Welcome to Sixth Form

Our Sixth Form in Kew offers an inspiring and supportive environment where students from diverse backgrounds come together to learn and grow. We welcome a mix of permanent, resident, and exchange students from Sweden and around the world, creating an international community with strong Swedish roots.

Our Programmes

We offer the following Swedish upper secondary programmes:

  • Ekonomiprogrammet (law and economics)

  • Naturvetenskapsprogrammet (natural and social sciences)

  • Samhällsvetenskapsprogrammet (social and behavioural sciences)

Teaching follows the Swedish national curriculum and is conducted in Swedish. International students are welcome to apply, provided they complete an online Swedish language course equivalent to Svenska grundskolan årskurs 9 with a passing grade.

Seeing the whole person

Small class sizes ensure every student is seen and supported, with strong pastoral care and a strong focus on wellbeing alongside high academic standards. Our experienced teachers nurture each student’s personal and academic development.

London is our classroom

With London as an extension of the classroom, students benefit from the city’s academic, cultural, and social opportunities — from museums and lectures to cultural events and football matches.

Open Minds. Broad Horizons.

Our graduates progress to leading universities in Sweden, the UK, and internationally, including the University of Cambridge, the London School of Economics, Imperial College London, King’s College London, Stockholm School of Economics, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, and Chalmers University of Technology.

“
I spent 16 years at The Swedish School in London —from preschool through graduation, and started studying at Durham in 2023. I was delighted to finish my first year as one of the top ten undergraduates. I attribute the success through a lot of hard work and dedication, but also the strong academic foundation I built at SSL.”

“
Looking back, the Swedish School in London was the perfect start for me. The supportive environment and bilingual education gave me confidence and prepared me for the challenges of university life. At Lund University, I completed a Masters degree in Computer Science (Civilingenjör i Datateknik), and I owe much of that to the strong foundation I received at the school.”

“
I spent all my school years at the Swedish School in London, including Sixth Form in Kew. Today, I am studying Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of St Andrews—ranked the best university in the UK (above Oxford and Cambridge). It all started at SSL, though!”

“
After graduating from Sixth Form at The Swedish School in London, I'm now studying History and International Relations at King's College London. Studying at KCL has been an incredible opportunity to engage with the past in order to better understand and shape the future. I can’t wait to see where my journey of learning takes me next.”
