Internationella Engelska Gymnasiet

IEGS is located in the heart of Södermalm with a strong academic and multicultural tradition, committed to helping students develop to their full potential. We currently offer four Swedish national programmes and the International Baccalaureate (IB) programme, which all qualify students for university studies in Sweden or abroad. All courses, with the exception of Swedish, Civics A, Law and Modern Languages, are taught in English.

IEGS believes that every student has the capacity to develop intellectually, personally and morally. Our pedagogy is based on a work ethic where involvement comes through hard work, creativity, commitment and dedication. Intellectual curiosity is imperative for academic development and for understanding the world we live in.

At its heart IEGS is motivated by a mission to create a better world through education, prepare students for the world of today and tomorrow and develop young people who are courageous thinkers, reflective learners and curious about the world in which we live in.

Utöver de 53 % behöriga lärare med svensk lärarlegitimation som syns under utbildningsstatistik har cirka 30 % av lärarna utländsk lärarlegitimation.

Till International Baccalaureate-programmet (IB) har skolan ett obligatoriskt antagningsprov. Resultatet läggs till betygen för en slutlig bedömning. Eftersom många som söker IB inte har betyg från det svenska betygssystemet (och då har 0 i meritpoäng), blir lägsta antagningspoäng inte relevant för detta program.
