Swedish School Beijing (SSB; sv|'''Svenska skolan i Peking''',) was a Swedish international school in Gahood Villa (嘉浩别墅), Shunyi District, Beijing.[1] 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.
