Sigtunaskolan Humanistiska Läroverket (SSHL)

Sigtunaskolan Humanistiska Läroverket (SSHL) is a Swedish national boarding school, established in accordance with the Education Act, (chapter 29, sections 15 and 16) that attracts a range of students from within the local community in Sigtuna itself, across Sweden more broadly and from within the Swedish community around the world. Increasingly, students without traditional links with Sweden also apply to the school. Courses can be read in Swedish and English, and can follow the Swedish curriculum, or the International Baccalaureate. Around a third of our 500+ students are boarders. Schooling at SSHL is based on a humanistic philosophy, focused primarily on the complete whole. All knowledge is interconnected, regardless of whether it comes from classical school subjects, sports, the creative arts or recreational activities. This holistic approach provides our teachers with good opportunities to stimulate every student’s unique talents and potential. It allows each student to create his or her own profile in their education.
