Hi, I come from Hong Kong and i am also a citizen of Sweden (because my mom and dad lived there)
I will be probably studying in Sweden in the coming year.
Is there any school teaching in English? (best in Gothenburg, because my bigger brother is studying there)
How do i apply?
What are the compulsory and elective subject?
Please help me, thanks

P.S. is there any language school (Swedish) teaching in English? how can i get more information?

How old are you? A lot will depend on age wheher you are
- upper secondary high school age 16-19 where there are several options teaching in English
- adult - 18+ where it is usually adult education teaching in Swedish - you would do the beginners courses first and then high school

What sort of residence visa/permit will you have in Sweden? does it entitle you to free education or will you be restricted to private schools?

So he did

In that case it is worth contacting some of the international schools in Gothenburg that teach an international sylabus such as A-levels or IB

You may need to Act fast as the first round of applications and acceptances for upper secondary have already been made
