Admissions

The application window is open all year round, and you can apply to multiple schools at the same time. We admit students on an ongoing basis throughout the year, subject to availability. To apply, please follow these steps:

1. Click on "Apply here".

2. Select the school you wish to apply to (each school has its own queue). You can place your child in the queue from February 1st the year after they were born.

3. Once you click "Apply here", you will be redirected to SchoolSoft’s queue system. Log in using BankID and fill in your personal details.

4. If you do not have a Swedish BankID, you can instead complete the application form available here.

No, we do not use entrance exams or selection tests for admission to our schools. Places are allocated entirely based on queue time, meaning that the applicant who has been in the queue the longest will be offered a place first.

Yes, you can join the queue regardless of where you currently reside. Please note, however, that we can only offer school places to students who are registered residents in Sweden (folkbokförda). If your child does not have a Swedish personal identity number but you are planning to move here, please contact the relevant school directly, and they will assist you further with the application process.

You can place your child in the queue from February 1st the year after they were born at the earliest.

Please contact the school’s admissions team for more information regarding opportunities to visit the school. Further details about open house days can also be found on each school’s website.

Before the admissions process begins, the school will send out an email to notify you that the process is underway. If you are offered a place, you must respond within the specified deadline. If no response is received, the place will be offered to the next person in the queue.

You are welcome to contact a specific school you applied to for information regarding your current queue position.

Each school has their own queue, and it is unfortunately not possible to transfer a queue position or accumulated queue time between schools. However, you are more than welcome to be in the queue for multiple schools simultaneously. You can easily add another school by logging into your SchoolSoft profile.

No, if you decline an offer, you will forfeit your place in the queue, and the offer will immediately pass to the next applicant. If you change your mind at a later date, you are welcome to submit a completely new application.

Each school maintains its own separate queue. We operate on a first-come, first-served basis, as we believe this is the fairest approach. Sibling priority applies when a sibling currently attends, or has been accepted into, an IES school at the time when the next sibling is due to start. You can easily add the sibling’s Swedish personal identity number (personnummer) to your profile. Please note that being in the queue for, or having a place at, one IES school does not grant you priority at our other schools.

Write to the school in question and let them know your queue ID number or personnummer and the information that you would like to change. You can find contact details for our school at the bottom of the page.
