How would you rate Internationella Engelska Gymnasiet Södermalm (IEGS)?
I attended IEGS and, unfortunately, my experience was quite disappointing. Here's an honest review: 1. **Food:** The food is awful and almost inedible. It's hard to find something genuinely enjoyable or even decent to eat. Most students just go out to have lunch. 2. **Bathrooms:** The bathrooms are always disgusting—like seriously bad. It's a real issue that doesn't seem to get addressed properly. Like one time in a King corridor bathroom, there was a used co**om.... (I wish this was a joke, it was in 2022 or 23) 3. **Social Atmosphere:** The social atmosphere is fine, but there is a clear segregation between IB students and Swedish system students. It's noticeable and affects the overall cohesion of the student body. 4. **Teachers:** While some teachers are really nice and teach well, many just don't seem to care. I can't speak for the Swedish program as I was in IB, but for IB students, it's a mixed bag. Some IB teachers are frequently absent, making it hard to rely on them for learning. I can safely say that everything I learned for my HL subjects was through YouTube and not from the teachers. 5. **Support:** The support seems skewed towards the high-achievers, the students who are already doing well and know most of the material. The rest of us often have to fend for ourselves, which is incredibly frustrating. Overall, my experience at IEGS left much to be desired. There are some positives, but the negatives are hard to overlook.
The school is truly International in spirit and way of teaching. Lots of different nationalities. The teachers are very good and they listen to the students' need, but at the same time the academic level is very high and demanding. Students learn knowledge but at the same time they learn to think independently and in a democratic way. My daughter attends the 2nd year of the drama course and she is extremely satisfied! Me too!
Just a great school in total. Made a lot of friends even when I stayed short. The teachers are kind to me and I got a academic award.
