International School of Helsingborg
Education for all ages
Education for a better world
At ISH we believe learning has no boundaries. Our teachers come from almost twenty different countries all over the world, and the same goes for our students. We offer an alternative for international families who are residing in the Helsingborg region on a temporary basis, or for those moving overseas. Our International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme forms an excellent foundation for further university education abroad and in Sweden.
Education for all ages
Diploma Programme
Gymnasieprogram
The IB Diploma Programme’s broad and individualized subject selection encourages students to pursue their interests and ambitions.
Year 1 (Årskurs 10)
The MYP 5 year prepares students for the two-year IB Diploma Programme. Students from the Swedish school system will improve their spoken and written proficiency in the English language while studying a broad range of subjects.
Year 2-3 (Årskurs 11-12)
The two-year programme is academically challenging and balanced. It leads to an IB Diploma, which is recognized as an indicator of academic excellence and accepted by universities and other higher educational institutions both in Sweden and worldwide.
Apply to the IB Diploma Programme
The Diploma Programme is open to all students who have completed Grade 9 in Sweden (grundskola) or have similar qualifications from another country. Apply as you would for any programme in the Swedish educational system. Your grades from ‘9th grade’ combined with entrance tests in Mathematics and English, along with an interview, are the entrance requirements.
Middle Years Programme
The Middle Years Programme (MYP) is a programme of study designed to meet the particular educational needs of students between 11 and 16 years. It is internationally accredited and prepares students over a period of four or five years for entry into the IB Diploma programme.
Primary Years Programme
The PYP (including Early Years) is designed for students from the year they turn 3 to 12 years of age. It focuses on the development of the whole child as an inquirer, both in the classroom and in the world outside.
It is a framework guided by six interdisciplinary themes of global significance, explored using knowledge and skills derived from six subjects areas, as well as interdisciplinary skills, with a powerful emphasis on inquiry.
