  • What is Cirkusgymnasiet?

    A beloved child has many names - Cirkusgymnasiet, the Upper Secondary School program in Contemporary Circus, and the Contemporary Circus Program are some of the names that may come up when you read about our education. We simply call it Cirkusgymnasiet.

    Cirkusgymnasiet is operated in collaboration with S:t Botvid's Gymnasium. Approximately half of the day you study theoretical subjects with them and the other half is spent in our circus hall in Alby. The education is preparatory for university.

    At Circus Cirkör, we prepare you to reach your physical and artistic peak. Our international team of instructors are all artists. They know exactly what you need to learn in order to apply to higher artistic education programs around the world - whether you dream of a future as an international circus artist, or if you have other dreams but want to train and develop artistically during your Upper Secondary School years.

  • Full of questions?

    • Can I come by and try?

      Of course! Come and experience the atmosphere, try the training, and meet your future classmates. You are always welcome to visit us at the circus hall in Alby, whether you already know you want to apply to the high school or you're just curious. The easiest way is to email Lena, our school coordinator."

      Where can I live?

      The municipality has access to several apartments where you can rent a room. These rooms are arranged through S:t Botvid's Gymnasium. As an applicant from outside Stockholm County, you can join the waiting list for these rooms.

      It's important to know that if you rent a room, you'll be responsible for managing your daily life entirely on your own – but you won't be alone. You'll be living with other students, and both Circus Cirkör and Botkyrka municipality are here to support you!

      If you have any questions about living in Alby, feel free to reach out to us!

    • I have a thousand more questions!

      Don't worry - Cirkusgymnasiets artistic director, Daniel Gulko, will answer everything, from where you can stay during your studies to life as a circus artist and what you gain from training in circus arts."
