Five children stand indoors, beaming with joy. One sports a large hat while another dons cat ears. Behind them is a backdrop with drawings of mountains and a sun, reminiscent of the playful spirit at svenska skolan. Their casual attire complements the creative setting perfectly.

Svenska Skolan

Svenska Skolan is a Saturday morning language and culture program for students aged 7-14 that offers an opportunity for children to learn or practice Swedish in a fun and interactive environment. Instruction is tailored to meet children’s needs at all Swedish levels. Each week, students sing, play, create, and have fun på svenska.

Students are split into small groups based on Swedish ability and age for focused language time. We offer two parallel tracks–one entirely in Swedish for those students who speak Swedish at home and one for students new to or in the process of learning Swedish. The first track is language-focused, with students receiving instruction entirely in Swedish, while the second is culture-based, with Swedish language lessons woven as relevant to the curriculum. Svenska Skolan meets for two hours per week with students receiving extra take-home activities for practice at home. Advanced registration is required. No class on April 19 (Easter) or May 24 (Memorial Day).
