Swedish School Beijing

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Swedish School Beijing (SSB; Swedish: Svenska skolan i Peking, simplified Chinese: 瑞典学校; traditional Chinese: 瑞典學校; pinyin: Ruìdiǎn Xuéxiào) was a Swedish international school in Gahood Villa (嘉浩别墅), Shunyi District, Beijing.[1] As of 2012, Maria Hedelin-Björse was its headmistress. The school served students aged 2–12 and followed the Swedish curriculum,[2] but was staffed by Chinese employees. Students from all Scandinavian countries were eligible to attend.[3]

History[edit]

The school was established in 1994.[2]

On 3 March 2015, the school council decided that the school must be closed due to declining enrollment, and it notified parents on 4 March. The school's final semester ended on 6 June 2015, on Sweden's National Day, and the school closed on 30 June.[1]
