There is a fairly wide selection of international schools in Stockholm that cater to students from all over the world. These schools offer a range of curricula, including various national systems from countries such as France and Germany, as well as the globally recognised International Baccalaureate.

While international schools are notoriously pricey, they provide expat children with a sense of familiarity amid their new environment in Sweden and usually offer an excellent standard of communication. They also provide easy contact with other expat families, making it easier to become part of the community.

Here are a few well-regarded international schools in Stockholm.
