The school offers an exciting environment with its three sections: the International Section, the Choir Section and the Swedish Section that all interact with each other within the school. In the International Section the language of instruction is English, but we follow the Swedish Curriculum. Music is of great importance to our school and the school's Choir Classes are an important institution in Stockholm's musical life. In addition, we have an active Student Union with a rich sports life and active student clubs.

Our Offer

We are continuously developing our systematic quality work and pedagogical practise. For several years we have developed an organization for our professional development. Our school is characterized by diversity and tolerance, and we are ranked very highly by students in terms of wellbeing. Our students are happy to recommend their school to others.

Our teachers work in teams and our prioritised area for development is:
• Realising the intention of the Gy25 reform with a greater focus on the development of teaching

We do this by:

• Collaboration that benefits sustainable learning, through teaching with a holistic long-term perspective helping students to overview a larger field of knowledge and develop an increasingly scientific approach.
• That the school is a learning and inclusive organization where the staff and students learn from each other and the world around us, and share experiences to systematically develop teaching and other activities.
• Communication for learning, leading to deeper learning, 'Bildung', and understanding perspectives of others. Students' development towards the school's vision, curriculum goals, and programme goals.
