The Tanto International School

The Tanto International School is a small, independent school that aims to fulfil both the educational and social needs of every individual. We offer a high quality education taught in English. The school supports the international community by providing the best possible opportunities for families moving to Stockholm as well as those more permanent children who require an international education. Following the English National Curriculum, tailored to our international community, the teachers are able to ensure excellent academic standards for each individual in a truly stimulating environment.

The dedicated staff and our small class sizes provide an educational environment where children feel special every day. The school ethos is one that is born out of respect and ‘Three C’s‘ (Care, Co-operation and Courtesy). We combine modern resources, technology and child focused teaching with traditional social and moral values. In this calm and respectful atmosphere, our students learn to become socially confident leaders with wonderful manners and a passion for learning. Established in 1983, our Tanto atmosphere and welcoming approach to parents and families has enabled us to support new parents through the transitional period so they feel confident about their child's life and opportunities in Stockholm. Everyone should love coming to school and hate to miss it. That is true of the children at The Tanto International School.

The Tanto International School is one of a very few schools, in Stockholm, that has been granted the license to offer a complete international education in English. The school educates students from the age of 6-12 years ( our English Nursery caters for children from 1-6 yrs) and remains committed to offering the very best support and development through small classes and high quality teaching. Our aim is to remain a small, independent school, and our long term priority is to make sure all our children continue to receive the best care, learning environment and attention. The school has a calm, caring and creative atmosphere where children really enjoy coming to school and are proud of attending The Tanto International School. Since 1983, we have been creating a passion for learning in children between the ages of 1 and 12.

The Tanto International School follows the core learning goals set out in the English National Curriculum. The school uses this curriculum due to the fact that it focuses on progress and development through subject specific goals whilst linking the core skills of English and Mathematics at key points in a child's day. Certain parts of the curriculum have been adapted to more suit our international students. It is the careful and delicate balance between all essential aspects of learning and personal development that makes The Tanto International School unique. The balance between academic challenge and excellence, respect and democracy as well as equal value for all is something all educators at the school are proud of.
