If you are planning to stay in Sweden for several years, the Swedish school is the best choice for your child. Here, your child will learn Swedish through everyday interactions, build friendships and gain an understanding of Swedish culture and way of life.
Our schools and preschools welcome children and families from different backgrounds. We work to give every child the opportunity to learn, develop and feel included.
In the Swedish school, your child will receive a warm welcome into the Swedish language, society and way of life. The school provides initial additional language support alongside regular lessons.
Through school and after-school activities, your child can become part of the local community more quickly, while you as parents have opportunities to get to know other families and people in the neighbourhood.
The Swedish school offers your child a natural pathway into Swedish society, with language skills and relationships providing a strong foundation for the future.
School-age childcare, known in Swedish as fritidshem or simply fritids, is available for children aged 6–12. Children can attend before and after the school day, as well as during school holidays.
At the childcare centre, children can play, get creative, be physically active and spend time with friends in a safe and stimulating environment. Breakfast is provided in the morning and an afternoon snack is served later in the day. Both are included in the childcare fee.
The service complements school education and gives children opportunities to develop, learn and have fun together outside lesson time. School-age childcare is available to guardians who are working or studying.
All children and young people who are registered as residents in Sweden have the right to education under the Swedish Education Act. Swedish citizens are also subject to compulsory schooling.
Here in Sweden, you don’t need to pack a lunch for your child to take to school. Lunch is always provided.
Boden is a safe place for children to spend time outdoors. Our schools and preschools make good use of the natural environment for learning activities and outdoor play.
Children wear their own clothes at school and preschool.
This means that children also need to have clothing suitable for both rainy and cold outdoor activities.
Swedish preschools and schools hold introductory meetings and regular parent-teacher meetings to give children the best possible conditions for learning and development.
All schools and municipalities in Sweden provide student health services. These services promote students’ well-being, help prevent problems and support their development and learning.
