One of the objectives and goals of the Swedish Club of Houston is to locate and join together people interested in Swedish heritage (Swedes, Swedish descendants, and others) in the Houston area, primarily through informal events and get-togethers, social as well as cultural.

The Club currently counts just under 120 members who meet at various events throughout the year, such as the annual Pea Soup and Pancakes supper, Kräftskiva (Crayfish Party), Valborgsmässoafton (Bonfire), Smörgåsbord, and Christmas Traditions/Lucia program, as well as special events centered around cultural happenings.

The Swedish Club of Houston has operated a Swedish Language School for many years. It remains the sole provider of Swedish-language instruction in southeast Texas.

Classes are offered at multiple levels according to enrollment, with a primary emphasis on conversational competence, reflecting the needs of students who wish to speak Swedish during travel to Sweden.

The school follows a 15‑week semester schedule, with no classes held during Thanksgiving week. All classes meet once weekly from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM.

Beginner Class (Virtual)
The Beginner class meets virtually on Mondays from 08/31/2026 through 12/14/2026, except that the class will meet on Tuesday during Labor Day week.

Intermediate Class (Virtual / Hybrid)
The Intermediate class meets virtually on Mondays from 08/31/2026 through 12/14/2026, except that the class will meet on Tuesday during Labor Day week. In‑person sessions will be held on the last Monday of each month—9/28, 10/26, 11/30—and on the final class date, 12/14. All in‑person meetings take place at Houston Saengerbund, 1703 Heights Blvd.

Advanced Class (In Person)
The Advanced class meets in person on Wednesdays from 09/02/2026 through 12/14/2026, also at 1703 Heights Blvd.

Fika is the social institution of a coffee break. Fika can be just a cup of coffee, but most often includes a coffee cake or an assortment of cookies.
