Welcome to Open House for Year 7 at IESJ

Discover our new year 7 programmes at the IES Jönköping Open House on 12 October. Meet Principal Mr Varley and learn more about our senior school offerings.

On 12 October, from 17:00 to 18:30, we welcome prospective year 7 students for the 2027/28 academic year, and their guardians to our Open House.

During the afternoon, visitors will have the opportunity to meet our teachers, staff, current students, and Principal Mr Varley, who will present our senior school offer. We will also introduce our new optional programmes under "Shape Your Education":

• Extend, Experience & Elite (EEE): Students build grit and challenge themselves physically and mentally through structured training in activities such as running, water sports, climbing, camping, CrossFit, and winter sports. The programme includes coaching from world champion Maja Wellner at Kroppslabbet in Lidköping, strategic qualifying events, and preparation for major events like the spring OCR competition in Linköping.

• Basketball Team: Led by two former professional basketball players, dedicated training sessions prepare our school basketball team to compete in local, regional, and national tournaments.

• Music, Art, Drama (MAD): Encouraging creativity and confidence across three streams:

  • Band & Vocals: Choir singing, individual vocal coaching, and regular stage experience at graduation ceremonies and talent shows.

  • Drama: Full theatrical productions utilizing our school stage.

  • Art: A safe space to sketch and work on personal art projects with guidance available.

• Cambridge (IGCSE): Providing high academic expectations for year 7–9 students to take internationally recognised Cambridge IGCSE exams. Students can choose up to eight additional subjects, including Mathematics, English, Combined Science, Business Studies, ICT, and Psychology, supplemented by corporate study visits and real-world case studies.

Guests are invited to enjoy a autumn-themed fika with freshly baked cinnamon buns, coffee, tea, and sandwiches.
