Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ's
Does my child need a personal number to attend?
No, we are able to register our students without a Swedish personal number.
Which grade level should we apply for?
Our enrollment policy is to place students into grade levels based on their year of birth, and not based on last grade level completed. OpenApply will automatically recommend a grade level based on the applicant’s age and requested year of enrollment.
What happens once I have applied for a spot at the school?
You will be notified by email with a confirmation that we have received your application, although this does not guarantee placement at the school. We review our admissions at the beginning of March every year, a process that is finalised by the end of April. Late admissions also take place in June and August each year, as well as throughout the year depending on the availability. If you have not heard back from the ISKH regarding potential enrollment, it is most likely because there is no current availability.
What happens after my child graduates from the MYP Program?
After ninth grade, students will begin gymnasiet. The next step in the IB educational path is called the Diploma Program. This program provides a world renowned qualification that boasts a high acceptance rate to many ivy league schools. A majority of our students apply to these gymnasium to continue with the IB program.

If a student would like to continue with a Swedish gymansium, they must have received a passing grade in Swedish as an Additional Language. Alternatively, after graduating from ISKH they can study the Language Introduction Program to build a foundation in Swedish before beginning their gymnasium program.
Does your school provide Swedish classes?
From PYP 1 to MYP 4 the students have three Swedish lessons a week. The goal for these lessons is to build a foundation of basic to conversational Swedish so the students can make themselves understood in a Swedish-speaking environment.
In our MYP 3 and MYP 4 classes, we also offer additional Swedish minutes in order to support our students who are interested in pursuing a Swedish gymnasium program.
Are there fees for attending your school?
Yes, there is an annual tuition fee of 12,000 sek for each student enrolled in the school. The tuition fee is divided into two, non-refundable payments which are invoiced biannually.
