There are three reasons to choose Nordic. At least.

That's not counting our dedicated teachers, our focus on clear feedback to parents or our delicious school meals cooked from scratch.

World-class teaching

We draw inspiration from the best schools in the world and what happens in our classrooms is based on research into what leads to the best learning outcomes.

Order and tidiness

When things are orderly, the magic happens: students are free to focus, grow and truly thrive. How do we create that every day?

Nordic Spirit

What does "Spirit" actually mean in Nordic? It's the experience outside the classroom, part of our identity. We call it Nordic Spirit.

Our concept

Why you should choose Nordic International School

Nordic International School is a school focused on knowledge, academic excellence and strong values. At the Nordic International our talented, dedicated and inspiring teachers make school both educational and fun. With Swedish and international teachers from all corners of the world, a dynamic and bilingual environment is created, where up to half of the teaching is given, with increasing age, in English.

Together with clear rules of conduct, teachers create the highest possible level of academic autonomy - which is one of our goals - as academic autonomy is a prerequisite for achieving high academic results. We want to give all our students the best opportunity to reach their full potential.

Study time

A structured study environment with a clear framework and supportive guidance creates a safe and focused learning environment.

Student-centered teaching

Teacher-led lessons with Direct Instruction and research-based methods create clear, inspiring and results-oriented teaching. Through structured guidance and proven pedagogical strategies, each student is given the best conditions to develop and succeed in school.

Values for the future

Respect, commitment and kindness - core values that permeate Nordic and help students grow, both in school and in life. Work hard - be kind.

Welcome to Nordic International School!

With seven schools around Sweden, we are proud to offer one of Sweden's best educational environments characterized by clear structures, research-based teaching and high ambitions for both students and staff.

We believe that all children and young people have the potential to develop - and our mission is to create the conditions for this. By focusing on peaceful study, good order and good teaching, we lay the foundation for high-quality learning. Our schools work with a common framework and principles, which means that we can ensure an equal education regardless of where in the country you attend Nordic International School.

The international profile is a key part of our identity. This means, among other things, that we draw inspiration from the world's best schools, an increased exposure to the English language compared to other Swedish compulsory schools, but also a global perspective on education and the world around us. We want our students to be equipped for the future - wherever in the world they choose to work.

We know that children develop best in the interaction between school and home. That is why we attach great importance to good cooperation with parents and guardians. Together we create security, commitment and expectations - three factors that are crucial for students' success.

Helping to shape your children's future is a responsibility we take very seriously. We look forward to continuing to grow together with our students, families and staff - and to welcoming even more people to the great community of our schools.

"This school excels over and over again. Since her daughter started at Nordic international school in Ystad, she has not only improved her self-confidence and academic results, but has also made lots of new friends, even between grades. At Nordic you can be yourself, every student is unique and you are accepted and respected by both teachers and all other students at the school. The study atmosphere is unique and something that is highly valued by me as a guardian"

"Putting our children at Nordic International School has been so beneficial. There is peace of mind and clear rules both during and between lessons. The school is modern and newly renovated, and we like the concept. Our children learn their motto "Work hard be kind" and show respect towards the adults which is also reflected in our home. Grades have also benefited from this clarity and structure."

"Nordic International School is the best thing that has happened to my son. Before he started at the school, he didn't like going to school and it was always difficult to get him up in the morning. He felt that no one listened to him or understood him at school. Since he started at Nordic International School, he wakes up by himself in the morning, gets dressed and is eager to go to school. He always has something positive to say about his teachers - that they listen to him and try to understand him. Now my son is more structured and has more order in his life. I think it's because the school has order and clear structures. Going to this school has changed his life for the better."

"We are very happy and feel that our child is thriving. She learns a lot, develops every day and has become stronger in her self-confidence. The best thing is the safe environment, the clear structure, the dedicated teachers and her fantastic mentor. You can also see that there is no bullying, which creates great security. What makes the school unique is the great teaching that makes our child really understand the content. She loves going to Nordic and is proud of her school. Thank you for all you do! Santi & Erik "

"The best thing about Nordic International, according to my son, is the teachers. The teachers' dedication and focus on order and performance makes a big difference to us as parents, but the most important thing is that the students feel listened to and seen. The calm classroom environment is a huge advantage. As English speakers, we particularly appreciate the bilingual orientation of the school. Switching to Nordic was a really good decision. The second best thing about Nordic, according to my son, is the food!"
