The English School Gothenburg is an independent, publicly funded Swedish “friskola” in Västra Frölunda, Gothenburg. It was founded in 1958 by British Consul General Thomas Tull and serves children from Preschool to Year 9, approximately age 4 and younger to 15. The school follows Swedish law and the Swedish curriculum, not an international curriculum, with students taking Swedish national tests in Years 3, 6 and 9. ESG’s aim is for students to leave bilingual in Swedish and English. Class sizes are up to 22 children, often supported by a teaching assistant. The school does not charge tuition fees because it is funded through Swedish public school funding. Facilities and services mentioned on the official site include a large dining hall, freshly prepared free lunches and nearby public transport links. Optional PTA-organised after-school music lessons are offered on campus with professional music teachers.
International School of the Gothenburg Region is an international school in Gothenburg, Sweden, founded in 1997. It educates students aged 5 to 16 across two central campuses: Guldheden for the Primary Years Programme and Götaberg for the Middle Years Programme. The International Section follows the International Baccalaureate PYP and MYP, taught in English, while the school also offers a Swedish National Section. ISGR has around 700 students in its PYP and MYP programmes, with over 60 nationalities represented. Facilities include campus libraries, outdoor play areas, a football pitch, art, music and science rooms, and new Guldheden facilities with classrooms, dining hall, music rooms and PE hall. A distinctive feature is its dual international and Swedish structure, allowing students from both sections to share activities. After-school options include music, crafts, chess, coding, drama, sports and ISGR Sports Club.
