The International Baccalaureate creates well-rounded young people who have the knowledge, skills, and sense of purpose they need to thrive throughout their lives and contribute to making the world a better place.
The IB fosters empathy, open mindedness, diversity and cultural respect. It produces students with transferable, future-ready skills and an internationally recognised qualification.
IB graduates enter university - in Sweden or abroad - with a firm academic foundation. They have also developed qualities such as self-sufficiency and resilience. We often hear back from alumni that are currently at university and who tell us how well prepared they are for higher education.
Oliver, Class of '25
I am currently studying English Literature and Philosophy at the University of Edinburgh.
Completing IB was incredibly rewarding for me academically and personally. Not only did I meet some tremendous people, but the diploma programme taught me critical skills that have continually allowed me to grow as a person and in further studies.
The IB helped me find out where my true strengths lie and, more importantly, my real passions. I learned that doing what you actually enjoy is of utmost importance not only to the programme but to life in general, and that life (your deadlines and exams) will not wait for you.
Most importantly, however, Hvitfeldtska was a place where I failed innumerable times and learned to get back up on my feet and do better, an invaluable experience.
