Swedish School Beijing (SSB; Swedish: Svenska skolan i Peking, simplified Chinese: 瑞典学校; traditional Chinese: 瑞典學校; pinyin: Ruìdiǎn Xuéxiào) was a Swedish international school in Gahood Villa (嘉浩别墅), Shunyi District, Beijing.[1] As of 2012,[update] Maria Hedelin-Björse was its headmistress. The school served students aged 2–12 and followed the Swedish curriculum,[2] but was staffed by Chinese employees. Students from all Scandinavian countries were eligible to attend.[3]
History
The school was established in 1994.[2] However, on 3 March 2015, the school council made the decision to close it due to declining enrollment. Parents were informed of this decision on 4 March. The school's last semester concluded on 6 June 2015, coinciding with Sweden's National Day, and officially shut its doors on 30 June.[2][1]
