Starting in the 2026 school year, Lycée Français Saint Louis de Stockholm (LFSL) is launching a new international mobility program: “One Year in Stockholm.”
This initiative will allow high school students enrolled in the French educational system to spend a full academic year in Stockholm, within our international, multicultural, and deeply French Swedish environment. Designed as both a life experience and an academic journey, the “One Year in Stockholm” program aims to offer young people aged 15 to 18 a long-term immersion in a new country, a new culture, and a new daily life.
Growing in an international environment
Living and studying in Stockholm for a year means discovering:
- a different and distinctive educational and living environment;
- a society strongly focused on autonomy, trust, and international openness;
- a naturally multilingual daily life, where English, French, and Swedish are used side by side every day;
- a safe city centered around nature, innovation, and quality of life.
Coming to live and study abroad without one’s family is also an opportunity to develop independence, adapt to a new environment, build intercultural communication skills, and grow within a demanding and stimulating international context.
An enriching experience for the entire school community
This program will not only benefit the visiting students. It will also strengthen the international outlook of LFSL and further enrich the human, linguistic, and cultural exchanges that have shaped our school community for more than fifty years. Our students will have the opportunity to meet and interact with young people from an even wider range of backgrounds.
The program is fully aligned with the identity of LFSL: an international French school deeply rooted in its Swedish environment.
A structured and supportive program
To ensure the success of the program for everyone involved, participating students will benefit from enhanced academic and educational support, as well as a strong connection between the dedicated LFSL team and carefully selected and supported host families.
Join the “One Year in Stockholm” adventure
The program will open in August 2026 for students entering Seconde, Première, or Terminale. Applications for both students and host families are now open.
