The Swedish School in London (Swedish : Svenska Skolan i London) is an independent school and boarding school in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. Swedish exchange students are offered accommodation in local host families arranged by the school.
It consists of a nursery, primary school and secondary school (Swedish : förskolan och grundskolan) for pupils aged up to 16 years, located near St Paul's School in Barnes, London, and a sixth form (gymnasiet) for 16- to 19-year-olds, in Kew, London, co-located with The National Archives. The sixth form of the school has three programmes: a science programme, a social science programme focusing on civics and the humanities and a business administration programme focusing on economics and entrepreneurship.
The school was rated "Outstanding" in its most recent Ofsted independent school inspection report in June 2023.
