Where can an American sophomore in high school go to school in Stockholm, Sweden?
I am currently a sophomore high school student in the U.S. but my dad got a new job in Stockholm, Sweden. I need to find an English speaking school there, for my junior year of high school.

If you'll be in Sweden for the rest of high school (and plan to stay in Sweden afterwards), it would be a good idea to learn Swedish and adapt to the Swedish school system (which is quite different). The kommune that you will be living in can help you do this. There is an international school in Stockholm that covers through grade 12, but the fees are very high. http://www.intsch.se/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=58&Itemid=59 There are a few programs in English at Swedish gymnasiums as well, but this isn't the same as high school in the US, it's further education. http://www.kungsholmensgymnasium.stockholm.se/en_index.htm http://www.vrg.se/templates/pages/SectionStartPage____63.aspx You should also contact the closest Swedish consulate in the US to help you. http://www.swedenabroad.com/Consulates____7492.aspx Edit: As far as I know, the only schools similar to a US high school are the two international schools in Stockholm and Näcka (a nearby suburb). They have expensive tuition and fees. The other option is a Swedish gymnasium that teaches some classes in English. Either way, you would need to work with your high school in the US and your new school in Sweden to make sure you take the right courses for graduation in the US. It would probably be easier on you (if the Sweden move is only a year) to find someone local to stay with while you finish school.
