About Us
The goal of the Swedish School for Children is to teach the Swedish language, culture and values to tomorrow's global citizens, in a broad-minded and academically stimulating environment.
The Swedish School in Washington, DC is a part-time school that teaches supplementary Swedish. We have 30 teaching sessions per school year. The school was founded in the 1970s and today has students aged 0-18. The school has become a fixture for the Swedes in the area. We currently have seven classes.

From 0 to 18 years
All children who have “Swedish as a living language at home” are welcome. The wording is from the Swedish National Agency for Education and is a requirement for the school to receive government funding for school-age students. This means that at least one family member - it could be mom, dad or grandma - speaks Swedish with the student at home. Then the student gets the support they need to keep up with the lessons, have fun and understand.
Our teaching lasts for 2.5 hours per week and it requires that the student also receive support with the language through use at home in order for the student to learn Swedish.
The school follows the Swedish National Agency for Education's curriculum for supplementary education for Swedish students abroad and also has its own curriculum.
