Admissions Guidelines

UIS is a non-selective School and does not require children to take an entrance test. UIS is an inclusive School and welcomes applications to our school all year round from students of all abilities.  

Admission Criteria 

The education at our schools is carried out under the supervision of the Swedish School Inspectorate (SW. Skolinspektionen) and is performed in accordance with the standards set out in the Swedish Education Act and other applicable Swedish regulations on International Schools. 

  To be considered for admission, students must have a temporary resident status in Sweden or meet one of the four below criteria: 

1. The student is a resident in Sweden for a limited period; or 
2. The student has attended school abroad for a major part of their education and therefore have a reason to fulfill his/her education in an international school in Sweden; or 
3. The student is currently living in Sweden but is planning to leave Sweden for a longer period; or 
4. The student speaks the language of the school daily with one or both parents/caretakers and has sufficient language skills to participate in the education. 

Students with Additional Educational Needs (AEN) 

Our Schools accept students with additional educational needs if the school can support and provide a meaningful education for them. Parents are required to inform the school, when making an application, of any known and per-existing Additional Educational Need including physical or medical needs that may affect the school’s ability to provide a safe and appropriate educational experience for the student.
