A bilingual learning experience for young children
At 20 of our schools, we offer education all the way from preschool class. Our approach combines playful learning with a strong emphasis on both Swedish and English. With no prior knowledge of English required, our students will develop a solid foundation for lifelong language learning.
English is gradually introduced through play and song and Swedish is heard all around the school, spoken by our staff and other students. This creates a solid foundation for the natural development of both Swedish and English. Our students also benefit from a truly international culture, where teachers and classmates come from many different countries and backgrounds.
From preschool class, we lay the groundwork for lifelong learning. Our goal is to provide our students with a safe, calm, and welcoming learning environment, where daily interactions with school leaders, teachers, and other staff are the norm. Through clear goals and expectations, we create the conditions for our students to experience the satisfaction of meeting and exceeding their learning objectives early on. We believe in challenging each student by promoting "grit", the inner motivation to overcome obstacles and reach their full potential.
