Engelska Skolan Norr is a two-campus independent school in Stockholm's Östermalm, serving ages 6 to 18. It follows the Swedish national curriculum with a bilingual program in which roughly half of all lessons are taught in English. The ninth grade can prepare for and graduate with Cambridge English qualifications, and Cambridge IGCSE offers additional external options. Established in 1993 as Sweden's first independent school to follow the national curriculum while delivering in-depth English language education, ESN Norr joined the Atvexa group in 2013. The Roslagstullsbacken and Alba Nova campuses accommodate about 540 pupils, with each student receiving a Chromebook and access to a library of over 9,000 books. A Vetenskapens Hus partnership provides university-level science, mathematics and technology activities. In 2024–25 ESN Norr became a Cambridge Associate School and operates an IGCSE examination centre for external candidates; from 2025, ESL, Maths and English Literature IGCSE courses are available. Approximately 95% progress to university follows Cambridge qualifications.
