Before starting at IES

What you might like to know before starting at one of our schools

There are no fees to attend IES schools. Our schools are funded in the same way as those run by the municipality, through the Swedish tax system and the school voucher (skolpeng).
Children who have been offered a place in the starting year are invited to a workshop day - this enables them to try learning with IES for a few hours, and helps our teachers know what level your child is starting from, and how we can best help them. Teachers may set some assignments following the workshop day, which will help your child get up to speed before the start of school.
Visiting our school is a wonderful way to see how we teach students and the sort of atmosphere that our schools offer. If you would like to visit a school please get in touch with them to see if you can arrange an appropriate time.
As part of our main intake process we hold a workshop day, which can give a taste of what it is like to study with IES. These days and open houses are the best way to try out our schools and decide if they are right for you. To avoid disruption to our students, we do not offer potential students the chance to join a school on a trial basis.
