How to Apply

Applying to year 1

You apply to year 1 of high school through Gymnasieantagningen. They open in mid-January every year and you can read all about the application process and eligibility on their website.  

If you are applying to the IB Programme, please follow the link for important information regarding the assessment test: IB ASSESSMENT

Applying after the school start

If you wish to transfer schools after the school year has started, or to year 2 or 3, you apply to transfer directly on our website. You find the form for International Baccalaureate here and for our national programmes here.  

Before you apply

You choose a programme with the specialisation you are looking for at the desired gymnasium you want to study at. The Studie- och yrkesvägledare (SYV) at your school can help you in preparation for this.

Find out:

• what programme and courses suit you
• which schools have the programmes your are looking for
• what you need in order to get into your desired school

Talk to friends, former classmates and visit as many Open Houses as you can before making a final decision. Everyone has different experiences and knowledge. Talk to adults, teachers, current students of the school you are interested in - it is important to get as much perspective as possible. Your school SYV will also help you to get the answers you need in order to make a decision. 

You can also use Skolverkets website and Gymnasium.se to find and compare schools:

• Gymnasium.se
• Utbildning.se (skolverket)
