High-Quality English Education at BISS: Where Excellence is the Standard
A recent review by the Swedish Schools Inspectorate revealed a worrying trend: 27 out of 30 schools licensed to teach in English were found to have serious shortcomings in their English-language instruction.
For parents seeking an international education in Stockholm, this raises an important question: where can my child receive truly high-quality English teaching?
At the British International School of Stockholm (BISS), the answer is clear.
Native English-speaking teachers, trained in the UK
Our students learn from experienced, mother-tongue English-speaking teachers — many trained in the UK. This ensures authentic, accurate, and fluent English immersion every single day. Students are not just exposed to English; they live it across subjects, gaining the language confidence they need for university and life.
Academic excellence in an international environment
High standards of English teaching underpin every subject at BISS. From Primary through to Secondary, English is the language of instruction, enabling students to succeed in an IB curriculum that demands clarity, precision, and global communication skills.
Unlike many schools where teachers struggle with both Swedish and English, at BISS parents can be assured: our students are taught by experts with both subject mastery and true linguistic fluency.
Preparing students for global futures
Strong English education is not just about grammar and vocabulary. It’s about preparing students for global opportunities — from top universities to careers across borders. At BISS, excellence in English is not an aspiration. It’s our standard.
Why this matters for families choosing an international school in Sweden
Swedish Schools Inspectorate findings highlight a widespread problem: poor English instruction can limit a child’s academic growth.
Parents moving to Stockholm need assurance their child will thrive in an authentic English-speaking environment.
BISS offers what few schools can: true immersion with highly qualified native teachers.
