- Equivalent annual total (two school terms equivalent as presented): SEK 56 275 per year (Academic year 2026/27).

Billing schedule and payment terms
- The international-stream charge is presented as a per-term figure and an annual figure; tuition is therefore stated on a per-term basis. Term dates and the school calendar are published for the school year.
- Specific invoice timing, payment deadlines, late-payment penalties and detailed payment terms for the international-stream tuition are not published alongside the per-term figure.

Boarding fees (if applicable)
- No boarding programme or boarding fees are published for IES Skellefteå. The international provision is described as an English-medium day-school Cambridge Pathway for ages 5–16.

Other costs or fees
- School uniform: The school does not use a formal uniform policy in the way a dress code would specify clothing requirements; school rules do not cover students' clothing in the usual uniform sense. No mandatory uniform cost is published.
- After‑school care / Junior Club / Fritids: the school operates fritids and after‑school provision; any fees for after‑school services (where applicable) are treated separately to the international tuition and may follow local rules. No specific universal extra‑cost amounts for Skellefteå's international unit (uniforms, compulsory resources, or standard extracurricular charges) are published together with the international tuition figure.
- Examination fees (e.g., IGCSE exam entries), transport, meal plans or specific activity charges are not listed as part of the international per‑term tuition figure and would be itemised separately if levied.

Refund information
- No standard, published tuition‑refund schedule or refund policy for the international‑stream tuition amount is provided together with the published per‑term figure. Individual circumstances (for example mid‑term withdrawal) would be handled according to the school's administrative and financial policies.

Fee payment options
- The school presents the international tuition as a per‑term charge but does not publish a definitive public list of accepted payment methods (for example card, bank transfer, domestic clearing, or direct debit) alongside the per‑term figure. Parents should plan on standard Swedish payment methods being used for school invoicing.

Admissions

Admissions
1. BankID is required to register for the queue via SchoolSoft. The login method is used to update your details and manage your application, establishing your profile within the system. 2. The queue system is school-specific and operates on a first-come, first-served basis. A sibling priority applies when a sibling currently attends, or has been accepted into, an IES school at the time the next sibling is due to start. A place at one IES school does not confer priority at other IES schools. 3. You can place your child in the queue from February 1st of the year after they were born at the earliest. Waiting times vary by school, and queue position may change if other applicants are eligible for sibling priority. 4. The application window is open all year round, and you may apply to multiple schools at the same time. Applications are admitted on an ongoing basis subject to availability. 5. To apply, click on "Apply here", select the school you wish to apply to, and you will be redirected to SchoolSoft's queue system. Log in using BankID and fill in your personal details. 6. If you do not have a Swedish BankID, you can instead complete the application form available through the alternative link. 7. You can apply to one school and also join the queue for another; each school has its own separate queue, and it is not possible to transfer queue time between schools. 8. You can apply even if you do not currently live in Sweden, but places can only be offered to students who are registered residents in Sweden (folkbokförda). 9. If you wish to visit the school before applying, contact the admissions team for information about visits and open house days. 10. Entrance exams are not required to secure a place; admissions are based entirely on queue time. 11. Waiting times vary by school, and your queue position may be affected by sibling priority. 12. You can contact the specific school to inquire about your current queue position. 13. Before the admissions process begins, an email will notify you that the process is underway. If offered a place, you must respond within the specified deadline; if no response is received, the place is offered to the next applicant. 14. If you decline an offer, you forfeit your place in the queue; if you change your mind later, you may submit a completely new application. 15. Start dates can be deferred within the SchoolSoft system if needed. 16. Open house days and visit opportunities are described on each school's site and can be arranged through the admissions team.

Waitlist
The school uses a SchoolSoft-based queue system for admissions. Places are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis with sibling priority applied when a sibling currently attends or has been accepted at an IES school. Each school has its own queue, and queue time cannot be transferred between schools. The application window is open year-round, and applicants may apply to multiple schools. Entrance exams are not used, and offers are communicated by email with a deadline to respond; declining an offer forfeits the queue position. Waiting times vary by school and may be affected by sibling priority.
