History[]

Gisela Dietz founded the English School, which initially occupied a Djurgården campus, in 1951. The school had 58 students from 15 countries by the end of that year. The school was renamed to Anglo-American School of Stockholm in 1964 and then to International School of Stockholm in 1978. The student body numbered 288 by 1967, when it moved to its current location.^[1] The International School of Stockholm sought to have the International Baccalaureate Programme implemented at the school in 2000 and the first IB students started at the school in 2001. In 2004, the school changed its name to Stockholm International School.
