The Swedish School in Moscow (Swedish: Svenska Skolan i Moskva, SSIM) is a Swedish international school in Lomonosovsky District, South-Western Administrative Okrug, Moscow, Russia. The language of instruction is Swedish and students are of ages 2 through 16.[1] Malin Norman, writing for Scan Magazine, described it as "a bit of an oasis for Swedes and other Scandinavians."[2]

History

[edit]

Circa 1978 there were three students from Norway and eight students from Sweden, and there was a possibility that there would be fewer students from Sweden in later periods.[3] By 2009, the school also had students from Denmark and Russia.[4]

Campus

[edit]

The Swedish school is located on the first floor of a campus shared with the Moscow Finnish School, the Moscow Japanese School, and the Scuola Italiana Italo Calvino (Italian school).[5]
