English Teacher grades 2-5 at one of Stockholm's most successful schools

Europaskolan Södermalm is a two-stream F-9 school with a strong international profile, proudly authorized by the International Baccalaureate (IB) since 2007. We educate students from Preschool class (förskoleklass) to Year 9, guiding them to become critically and creatively thinking, responsible, and proactive global citizens. Our teaching is rooted in the IB's Primary and Middle Years Programmes, which offer a holistic, concept-driven approach and ongoing professional development for our staff.

We are a highly regarded workplace where teachers are empowered to influence the direction of the school and are supported by a committed leadership team. Relationships matter deeply to us-among staff and with students-and we actively invest in building a strong, trusting community through shared experiences like staff trips and team-building activities.

Our school leadership team includes a principal, three assistant principals, and an administrative manager. We also have five lead teachers who drive development in key focus areas. Our teaching staff is highly qualified, motivated, and collaborative. A well-equipped school library and a dedicated librarian further support our educational goals.

We offer competitive salaries and maintain small class sizes with motivated students. The school environment is warm, respectful, and focused. Lessons are calm and productive, and we foster a shared responsibility across all staff to support every student's growth and well-being.

We set high, yet realistic, academic expectations because we believe that clear and appropriately challenging goals help students thrive. Our Year 9 graduates regularly achieve merit scores that place them among the highest in Stockholm.

If you're passionate about education, committed to continuous growth, and eager to make a meaningful impact in a globally-minded school community, we would love to hear from you.
