Colleen Clayton

World Languages Subject Leader and Swedish Teacher

Colleen is Swedish and English and has been raised in both countries, going to both national and international schools. She has an extensive background in theatre: going to theatre schools, teaching theatre and running theatre companies. When she decided to take these skills and use them as a teacher she went back to Stockholm University in order to re-train.

Starting as an English teacher for Swedish-speaking students she eventually switched these languages around and has been teaching Swedish Language Acquisition since 2012, and since 2014 at SIS.

In her free time, she enjoys opera and creative writing. She is also an avid rider of roller coasters and a frequent quizzer.

Stockholm International School challenges and inspires students from over 60 countries with a globally recognised academic programme. An international day school in the heart of Stockholm, our diverse community is welcoming and supportive. Our expert faculty and staff create a safe and secure environment in which children thrive.
