The English School Gothenburg is an independent, non-profit Swedish school founded in 1958 and based in western Gothenburg. It serves ages 0 to 15 and follows the Swedish curriculum with a liberal arts approach, delivering learning in both English and Swedish. Swedish National Tests are taken in years 3, 6 and 9 in Swedish and Maths, with English assessed in years 6 and 9. Class sizes are up to 24 students and teaching assistants are often on hand to support individual learning. The staff come from many countries, bringing diverse teaching practices to planning and enrichment. The modern campus features bright classrooms with interactive whiteboards and extensive technology, a superb playground, and easy access to nearby forests and sport facilities for PE and outdoor activities. The school runs a biennial Reading Challenge for Years 2–7, offers after-school music lessons, and hosts Nobel Day in the Creative Arts. Community initiatives include the Light of Peace trip to Vienna. Surplus funds are reinvested into facilities and staff development, with active participation in Energikicken, Göteborgsvarvet, and year-round sports days.
