Apply for the school year 2026/2027

Now is the time to apply for a placement in preschool class and primary school for the 2026/2027 school year.

You can submit the application from 8 January to 29 January 2026.

An application must be submitted during this period if your child:

• is going to start preschool class in the fall semester 2026
• is attending a school that does not offer the next grade
• wants to change schools even though the current school offers the next year’s grade

How to apply

You can apply for a placement between 8 and 29 January.
It does not matter which specific day you submit your application during this period.

• Indicate your school preferences in the e-service.
• The easiest way to log in is with e-identification.

Good to know

One custodial parent submits the application, but both custodial parents must confirm it.
All custodial parents will receive continuous updates about the application status via email.

How placements are allocated

Independent schools have their own queues and admission rules.
Contact the relevant independent school before applying to find out more about their admission process.

In municipal schools, placements are based on:

• the family’s wishes
• the principle of relative proximity
• All children registered in Sollentuna are entitled to a placement at a municipal school.

According to the Education Act, the student has the right to attend a school “close to home”. However, this does not guarantee a placement at the nearest school.

• When applying, you select three different options.
• Children are placed according to your wishes as far as possible.

If a municipal school has filled its quota:

• the distance to the desired school
• is compared with the distance to a school of reference (the closest or second closest school)

What happens next?

During March–April, you will receive a placement decision via the e-service.
You will also be notified by email once the decision is available.

• If you need access to a computer
• All municipal libraries allow you to borrow a computer and use wireless internet.
• You can also visit the municipality’s contact center in Turebergshuset to borrow a computer.
