GLOBAL STUDIES PROGRAMME
International Focus
Global Studies Programme of The International High School has a truly international focus. We are the only high school in Gothenburg that offers the Swedish curriculum in English. In our subjects we focus on current events with an international focus. The programme will provide you with the opportunity to continue your studies abroad or in Sweden. In order for our students to apply what they learn, you will as a student at the Global Studies Programme participate in different role plays, such as the UN Role Play and the European Youth Parliament (EYP). This we combine with a variety of field trips, for example to the Swedish Parliament.
Student Involvement
The International High School is a small school with a family feeling. Everyone should have the individual freedom to be who they are and this creates an accepting atmosphere in the school. Going to school is not only about developing academically, but also as a person. We want the students to be part of developing the Global Studies Programme and our school. That our former students still keep in touch and visit us we see as the greatest proof of our success in creating a safe, secure and developing atmosphere for our students.
Academic Preparation for University
Global Studies Programme is a preparation for university studies. Our academic standards are high in order for our students to be as well prepared for university as possible. The Global Studies students should develop and strive to be: Communicative and open-minded world citizens, who are knowledgeable, analytical and curious critical thinkers.
