About us

The International English School Upplands Väsby was opened in August 2020. We have started this semester with 18 classes in year F-8 and then developed further into an F-9 school in the academic year 22/23. IES in Upplands Väsby is a truly international school. We have a fantastic mix of staff from all over the world together with staff from Sweden, which will lead to increased quality of training. Being involved in the start-up of a new school means that you can be involved in building a school from scratch. This also means that you must be flexible and prepared to work in different areas.

We at IES, advocate our IES Ethos, that with a clear focus on student peace, security and respect. We strive for a positive school environment that is permissive and inclusive - and that gives good school results.
