Stockholm International School was founded in 1951 as The English School by Gisela Dietz at Djurgården, with 58 students from 15 countries. The first PTA meeting was held in 1951 to fundraise for better facilities. The school moved several times in the 1950s to Skeppsholmen in 1955 and to Eriksbergsgatan 10 in 1958, and in 1964 was renamed the Anglo-American School of Stockholm as enrollment grew. By 1967 the school had moved to its current Johannesgatan 18 location, with a student body of 288, and John Glenn visited SIS that year. PTA development along the American model began in 1956 to connect parents with the school, and PTA fundraising in 1959 purchased a well-stocked library and equipment such as basketball nets, playground equipment and a film projector.
