hey, im from norway and i have been living here my whole life!! and i can tell you that yes, there are for sure all-english schools in this country!!
they are called "international schools". the one in my city is called "international school of bergen", i have a few mates who go to it.. they like it there!!
crap, thats a junior high school!! but theres most likely universities/colleges here too.. just remember they are called "international schools" google is your friend!!
In Sweden, we have very many international students studying at högskolan or the university, so it's indeed very possible. Depending on where you want to study and what, you might experience different problems.
There are programs that are in English entirely, and then there are some programs where you have to make some changes (not sure how it works, I only heard about it breifly). Most text books are in either English, French or German (depending on what you study, for example, German and English are the major languages if you study Technic).
There are programs that are for international students where the only language used is English, so... What do you want to study?
I googled, and I found this, if you want a "over-look": http://www.topuniversities.com/count...oad_in_sweden/
(Ok, don't look at the prices in the yellow box, the pub and the movie ticket are true, but not the other ones. Ok, maybe if you live in Stockholm or Göteborg, but not otherwise in my experience.)
(P.S. If you want to study business, the school in my closest town, Jönköping, has an International Business School, all in English)
There are a very few international schools/universities on undergraduate level in Sweden. Most universities offer couses / programs in Swedish at this level. Generally in order to apply for cours or program in undergraduat level you are required to have swedish proficiency.
Speaking of an foreign student. According to a new rule in Sweden , Students from outside EU/EEa need to pay foor tuition fee from autumn term 2011.
Otherwise education here is great in terms of quailty , there are a lot of flexible courses offered as well.
My parents lived in Imatra, Finland for a long time (both American's by birth & nationality). Most of the younger people as well as a fair number of older people spoke very fluent English there. So I would say most Scandinavian countries have a high degree of English fluency. Also we had no problem traveling around and people being able to speak English with us. I don't know if that's from schooling or if it's learned elsewhere? I'm a bit confused why you would want to go to Scandinavia to study English though? Or maybe I'm confused about your intention? Are you wanting to teach English?

I am not sure what is situation now but I believe that English lessons are compulsary, starting from 3 grade (8-10 years).
When I was young (Sure I still am) at 70s, we started with english also at third grade but we had also german for option, but I think that now around 90 % from students choose english.
