About

ISSR, a world of opportunities.


ISSR is centrally located on the island of Södermalm, a short walk from Skanstull metro station. The fully equipped campus includes a library, auditorium, several science laboratories, sports hall, football field and café.


ISSR became an IB World School in 1999 and since then the school has achieved results well above the IB world average. The school offers the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB DP), which prepares students for success at university and life beyond. If you plan to continue your studies in Sweden, the DP Diploma, like all national Swedish programmes, gives you "Grundläggande behörighet".


At ISSR, the two years of the DP are preceded by a preparatory year (Grade 10), which corresponds to Grade 10 in international schools or the first year of upper secondary school (Gymnasiet). In the DP, students study their individually picked six DP subjects and the three core subjects. In the final year of the DP, students sit final exams, externally assessed, in all six of their subjects. External assessment means teachers do not set the grades, and this creates an open atmosphere making the students feel that teachers are on their side.


Welcome to ISSR Digital Open House on 25th of January, 2022. A Zoom link will be published on this website.
