Learning spaces

Supporting collaboration, creativity, and independent learning

Learning spaces are more than classrooms – they shape how students think, collaborate, and grow. In our IB environment, strong teaching and purposeful design work together to create a vibrant learning community where curiosity inspires discovery, collaboration drives progress, and every student can succeed.

At SIS, our learning environments are flexible and thoughtfully designed to support a range of experiences. Open areas encourage discussion and teamwork, while quieter spaces provide opportunities for reflection and independent study. This balance nurtures curiosity, creativity, and student ownership of learning.

Our spaces can adapt easily to different approaches – from group work and dialogue to focused individual study – recognising diverse learning needs and empowering students to take initiative. When students feel comfortable, included, and connected, they engage more fully and share their ideas with confidence.

Our two city-centre campuses reflect these values. Both late 19th-century buildings have been carefully reimagined for contemporary education. Our secondary campus at Norra Latin, opened in 2023, demonstrates how a historic setting can be transformed into a dynamic learning environment for 21st-century education.

  • Our classrooms

    Classrooms at SIS support inquiry-based and student-centred learning. Located across our Johannesgatan and Norra Latin campuses, they combine historic character with modern design.

  • Flexibility built in

    Furniture, technology, and layouts can change to support different activities, such as group work, research, discussion, or quiet focus. Each classroom supports digital learning, research, and creative work.

  • Hands on science

    Labs for practical and theoretical science learning are available on each campus suitably equipped with sinks, fume cupboards, and other facilities.

  • Learning Commons

    The SIS Learning Commons offer multi-purpose spaces where students can find a quiet corner to read, reflect and study, where they can work together in lively conversation, and where they can meet and socialise.

  • Music

    Our music facilities include spaces in a variety of sizes, for class teaching, small groups, and individual practice sessions.

  • Sport

    Each campus features a gym with built in climbing bars and a wide variety of portable equipment to support PHE teaching, individual skill development, and team training.

  • Outdoor spaces

    Each campus has age-appropriate outdoor recreational spaces to develop motor skills, physical fitness, coordination, and game strategies.

  • Stockholm as a classroom

    Our city centre location affords easy access to the many visual arts, performance, cultural, and educational venues in Stockholm.

Tech Bar support

Each Learning Commons space features a TechBar that supports school technology.

Open daily from 9:30–11:30 on school days, the Tech Bars assist teachers, students, and parents.

You can book an appointment or drop in for face-to-face support.

They are part of our wider tech support system, helping resolve issues such as connectivity, hardware problems, classroom technology, digital learning platforms, and Google Workspace.
