Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. To place your child in the queue, you create an account on our website by logging in with BankID and entering your child's data. If you do not have a Swedish BankID, download the application form at the bottom of the page and email it to admissions. If your child does not have a valid Swedish personal identity number, contact the school directly by email or phone.
2. Verify your email: In the next step, you confirm your email address. Check your spam folder if you have not received it. Once your email is confirmed, you can proceed with the application.
3. Provide the following information: your child's personal identity number (YYYYMMDD-NNNN). Add any siblings to the application, as sibling priority may apply, and register the contact details of all guardians (this information is important – if a place is offered, all guardians must accept before the child can start at the school). Guardian 2 will also receive a verification email. Then select the school, start of the academic year, and year level. Keep in mind that children in Sweden usually start preschool class the year they turn 6.
4. Queue placement confirmation: All registered guardians will receive a confirmation email once a queue place has been created for your child. Please get in touch with the school if you have not received a confirmation email after completing your registration.
5. Manage your application: You can, at any time, log in via our website and manage your information, such as your desired start year or adding siblings. You can also update guardian contact details as needed.
6. Admission Offer: If your child receives a placement offer, you log in to the queue login via our website with BankID. After that, you make an active choice to confirm the offer. The school will then send all the information you need before the start of school.
Join Queue: The admissions process uses a queue-based system to manage intake. To place your child in the queue, you create an account and enter your personal data using BankID, or download the application form if BankID is unavailable. A queue placement confirmation is sent by email once a place is created, and you can manage your details online. If a placement is offered, you must log in and accept the offer to enroll.
