Partnering with Parents at Uppsala International School

At Uppsala International School (UIS), we believe that a strong partnership between school and home plays a vital role in every child’s academic and personal development. Through our dynamic Parents Association (PA) and a proactive approach to parental engagement, we work hand-in-hand with families to create a thriving and inclusive learning community.

Why Parent Involvement Matters?

Research shows that students perform better when their parents are involved in school life. At UIS, we don’t just welcome your participation—we value it as a core part of our school’s success. From helping at events to offering insights and suggestions, your engagement strengthens our learning environment.

Together, we create a supportive, connected community where every child can thrive.
