Swedish International School (SIS) is a Swedish school in Estepona on the Costa del Sol, serving families in the Estepona and Marbella area. It follows the Swedish national curriculum, has operated since 2023 and states that it is authorised and supervised by the Junta de Andalucía and authorised by Skolverket, the Swedish education agency, for supplementary Swedish teaching. Classes have a maximum of 16 pupils.
Swedish is the language of instruction. Spanish is on the timetable every day from preschool, and English is introduced early and extended in line with the curriculum. Preschool to Year 6 is taught on site; from Year 7 pupils study by distance learning with on-site tutors.

Grades and certificates for the distance stages are issued by the distance school. The school day runs from 9:00 to 15:00, with after-school activities until 16:30. A Malmö FF football academy (from Year 7) and a padel and tennis profile are built into the school day. Applications are open to pupils of all nationalities aged 3 to 18 and are accepted throughout the year.

Applications are open to pupils of all nationalities aged 3 to 18 and are accepted on a rolling basis; starting mid-term is possible when a place is available. The process has three steps: an online application form, a visit and conversation with the school, and confirmation of the place. The application is not binding. Children without a Swedish personal ID number apply with their date of birth and passport details; NIE and local registration do not need to be in place when applying. The year group is based on year of birth following the Swedish model, with an individual assessment. Entry to the Malmö FF football academy involves trials.
