Awards

Int. Engelska Gymnasiet Södermalm has had unique success over the last five years in placing students in research facilities at the Karolinska Institute and at Tekniska Högskolan. In addition our students have taken prizes the last four years at Unga Forskare at Tekniska Museet. As a result our students have represented Sweden in international science fairs and have also been placed in research institutions abroad. We believe these achievements set us apart from all other gymnasiums.
