The Ideal Choice for International and Expat Families

Your Partner in Global Education and Family Transition

Choosing the right school is especially important when relocating to a new country. The British School in Gothenburg is uniquely positioned to support international and expat families with a globally recognised curriculum and a welcoming school culture. Our curriculum, based on the National Curriculum for England, allows students to integrate smoothly whether arriving from or returning to another international or British school. With clearly defined learning outcomes and familiar teaching approaches, your child can transition confidently at any stage.

Relocating internationally comes with exciting opportunities—and challenges. At The British School in Gothenburg, we understand the nuances of moving abroad and the importance of a stable, familiar educational environment for your child. Our mission is to make this transition as seamless as possible, helping your family settle in quickly and confidently.

Our school follows the National Curriculum for England, a globally respected standard that supports flexibility and consistency for mobile families. Whether your child is joining us from another British or international school—or preparing to continue their education elsewhere—they’ll find a smooth academic journey with us.

Why Families on the Move Choose Us:

• Flexible Admissions and Transition Support: We accept students throughout the year and offer personalised induction plans tailored to your child’s background and needs.

• Globally Aligned Learning: With structured key stages and recognised qualifications such as IGCSEs and A-Levels, our curriculum makes international transitions easier—both into and out of our school.

• Personalised Attention: Our small class sizes allow teachers to closely monitor each child’s progress, adapting teaching styles to support students who may be adjusting to a new curriculum or language environment.

• Whole-Family Integration: We support not just the student but the whole family—providing information sessions, family networking events, and helpful relocation advice to help parents feel just as welcome as their children.

• Pastoral Care That Understands Transition: Our staff are trained to support students through the emotional and social challenges of change, with a strong focus on wellbeing, resilience, and building friendships.

• Multilingual Support: While English is the primary language of instruction, we understand the value of multilingualism and offer support for non-native speakers to help them thrive both socially and academically.

Supporting Every Stage of Your Child’s Educational Path

From early years to pre-university preparation, we offer structured learning stages tailored to your child’s growth and future ambitions. Our A-Level courses open doors to universities worldwide, while our Foundation Stage creates a solid base for lifelong learning.

Your Child’s Education—Uninterrupted, Wherever Life Takes You

As part of a globally mobile family, your child's education should never feel like a patchwork of inconsistent experiences. At The British School in Gothenburg, we ensure that learning remains continuous, structured, and enriching—regardless of where your journey started or where it leads next.

Whether you are relocating for work, returning from abroad, or planning your next international move, we are here to ensure that your child’s academic and personal development remains on track—with care, clarity, and excellence every step of the way.
