IB Swedish A Support
SparkSwedish provides specialist support for students taking Swedish A as part of the IB Diploma Programme. Whether you are planning to study Swedish A: Literature as a school-supported self-taught subject or are already taking a Swedish A course at school, our experienced IB teachers can help you develop the analytical, written and oral skills required for the course.
Successfully completing any IB Swedish A course fulfils the Swedish-language entry requirement for university study in Sweden and is also recognised for university applications in other Nordic countries.
Swedish A: Literature, school-supported self-taught
IB Diploma Programme students are encouraged to study their first or strongest language, even when it is not offered as a taught subject at their school. In these circumstances, students may take Swedish A: Literature at Standard Level as a school-supported self-taught subject.
SparkSwedish provides structured guidance from an experienced IB teacher throughout the two-year course. We work closely with the student and their school to ensure that the support reflects the course requirements and complements the school’s responsibilities.
