The number of international schools are increasing
Statistical news from Statistics Sweden 2025-10-03 8.00
In 2024 there were 24 international schools in Sweden. The number has more than doubled since 2013, when there were only 9 international schools. Most of the international schools are compulsory schools, but a few are upper secondary schools. It is mainly the number of compulsory schools that has increased between 2013 and 2024. The number of students has also increased during the same time frame, from 2 200 to 6 900.
International schools are compulsory and upper secondary schools where the education does not follow the Swedish curriculum, but instead follow the curriculum of another country or an international curriculum. The purpose is primarily to provide education to students who are in Sweden for a limited time, but there are also other reasons why students may attend an international school.
