Både kommunala skolor och friskolor behöver ha ett överskott i sin verksamhet. Det behöver finnas en buffert om något oväntat händer. Skolan måste kunna klara tuffare år utan att det drabbar eleverna och det måste finnas resurser för att långsiktigt kunna utveckla verksamheten, replikerar Internationella Engelska Skolans tf vd Cecilia Marlow.
IES opened its 37th school, in Skellefteå, during a grand opening ceremony attended by students, parents and staff.
The school in Skellefteå is opening with around 240 students in grades F-9, and will grow over time. It has been opened following a close dialogue with the local municipality, to compliment the schools they run, help attract families with an international background to the town, and above all to provide more school places which offer students a high-quality of education.
More than 650 freshly-appointed IES educators from 37 schools gathered for an inspirational conference at Karolinska Institutet’s Aula Medica.

The statistics published by Skolvärlden on August 15, 2019, fail to take into account several important factors:
The figure for IES only includes base salary for those receiving the Förstelärare funding. If the figures had included the supplement known as Lärarelönelyftet, as well as other supplements we pay for responsibilities a teacher may have, the average salary for IES teachers who receive the Förstelärare supplement is SEK 41,700 per month.

To speak English "well" is not enough in today's world, writes Ms Barbara Bergström, the American science teacher who founded the English School in 1993.
Young Swedes should acquire a total inner security when speaking English. Our schools offer the best environment for achieving this. An important part of our success is that we provide a secure environment for teaching and learning. Schools should have a calm environment where teachers can teach and students learn.
These founding ideas have laid a solid ground for success. Internationella Engelska Skolan is today the largest free school organization at the compulsory level ("Grundskolan") in Sweden. Some 25 600 students attend our 36 schools around the country.

Our schools are places where teachers can teach and students can learn. This is possible because of the strong emphasis Internationella Engelska Skolan places on creating a safe and calm environment which is conducive to teaching and learning. That environment helps everyone to concentrate on their lessons.
All of our staff pull together to create the best learning environment through the school so that rather than using time and energy to establish the preconditions for learning, our teachers are able to step into the classroom knowing that their lessons will start on time and then run smoothly and without disruption.
