Introduction

Europaskolan is an International Baccalaureate World School in Sweden delivering the Primary Years Programme (PYP) and the Middle Years Programme (MYP) alongside the Swedish national curriculum. The school serves learners aged 5 to 16 and offers bilingual instruction in Swedish and English, with weekly mother tongue support to sustain internationalism. IB learning is embedded across two campuses: the Main Building at Gotlandsgatan 43 in Södermalm, and Eknäs Gård, a 15-hectare rural site 35 kilometres south of Stockholm, where students undertake practical, hands-on inquiry as part of the IB approach. Small class sizes (up to 24 students) emphasise inquiry, reflection and action. The school's off-campus Physical Education and Outdoor Life program highlights experiential learning through camping, hiking and visits to rock-climbing gyms and frozen lakes. Europaskolan supports progression to Swedish gymnasium, the IB Diploma Programme, or other high school options worldwide, grounded in global citizenship and lifelong learning together for students.

- Europaskolan does not charge tuition for any year group or term. There are no per-term or per-year tuition fees for IBEY, PYP, MYP or other year groups.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Because the school does not charge tuition, there is no billing schedule or payment terms for tuition to parents. Standard invoicing and payment terms for tuition do not apply.

Boarding fees (if applicable)
- The school is a day school and does not provide boarding facilities; therefore there are no boarding fees.

Other costs or fees (uniform, lunch, ASC, trips, materials, extracurriculars)

Parent Experience

History
Europaskolan was founded in 1998 by two teachers from Estonia who believed that the education their children were receiving in Sweden could use an international approach. After researching the various international educational bodies, it was decided the school would eventually be an IB world school. By 2007 the goal had been achieved. What began as a small school with 60 students and 6 employees grew into two schools with over 900 students and over 100 employees. The founders' passion and vision have always been present in the school and their goal has always been to provide the best internationally inspired education possible to their students.

Community
The school fosters a close-knit, diverse community with bilingual instruction in Swedish and English and a safe, family-like atmosphere. It hosts events involving students, families, and staff, including Book Week and UN Day. Book Week 2025 features daily reading sessions, author/illustrator spotlights, dress-up days, workshops, and a library treasure hunt. Europaskolan operates as an independent, family-owned school with a strong sense of community.
