Age Placement Guide

Year Placement

At The British School in Gothenburg, we recognise that families joining us come from a wide range of educational backgrounds and national systems. To help parents understand how their child’s age corresponds with our year groups, we’ve provided a clear placement guide comparing the Swedish system, the British curriculum (as delivered at BSG), and equivalent grades in the U.S. and Canada.

Student placement is based on age as of August month of the academic year and is supported by previous academic records and, when necessary, a placement assessment. This ensures that every child is placed in the year group where they will thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

Meet Ms. Hunley, our inspiring Art Teacher, who guides students from Key Stage 1 to IGCSE in exploring the world through creativity. Through her lessons, students learn how art connects to the world, develop their own unique style, and gain confidence in expressing ideas visually. Ms. Hunley offers individual support to nurture each student’s creative potential, helping them grow both technically and imaginatively. At TBGS, we believe art is not just a subject—it’s a pathway to thinking critically, observing deeply, and expressing freely. #TheBritishSchoolGothenburg #ArtEducation #CreativityInAction #FutureArtists #IGCSEArt #KeyStage1toIGCSE #HandsOnLearning #StudentCreativity #LearningThroughArt #ArtsMatter
