QUEUE AND SIBLING PRIORITY
Important information about the queue
-
Places are offered in order of queue date. The earlier you register your child in the queue, the greater the chance of being offered a place at the school.
-
The earliest you can register your child in the queue is 1 February in the year after they are born.
-
Sibling priority may apply. For this to be valid, the sibling(s) must already be enrolled at, or still attending, an IES school when the other child starts.
Admissions Process: Step by Step
How to apply for the queue
To place your child in the queue, you create an account on our website by logging in with BankID, where you enter your personal data. If you are missing a Swedish BankID, download the application form at the bottom of this page and email it to admissions. If you do not have a Swedish personal identification number, please contact us directly, and we will help you further.
In the next step, you confirm your email address. Check your spam folder if you have not received it. Once your email is confirmed, you can proceed with the application.
- Your child’s personal identity number (YYYYMMDD-NNNN).
- Add any siblings to the application, as sibling priority may apply.
- Register the contact details of all guardians (this information is important – if a place is offered, all guardians must accept before the child can start at the school). Guardian 2 will also receive a verification email.
- Select school, start of the academic year, and year level. Keep in mind that children in Sweden usually start 'förskoleklass' the year they turn 6.
Please get in touch with the school if you have not received a confirmation email after completing your registration.
You can, at any time, log in via our website and manage your information, such as your desired start year or adding siblings.
If your child receives a placement offer, you log in to the ‘queue login’ via our website with BankID. After that, you make an active choice to confirm the offer. We will then send all the information you need before the start of school.
