Students from Internationella Engelska Skolan have again produced fantastic results in this year's DN Nutidsorientering.
Internationella Engelska Skolan i Bromma was the highest scoring school in Sweden in this year's competition, while My Bodin, a pupil from Internationella Engelska Skolan i Karlstad, was the highest scoring pupil in the country.
The two national best results in the competition, which tests Swedish students' knowledge of current affairs, are the high point of what has been a fantastic contest for our students all-round.
After hearing of her success Ms Bodin said: "It is fun, and I really look forward to go to Stockholm and meet the Queen in December."
The winning pupil thanked her school and especially her teacher Mr Höök for help, support and motivation, adding: "I couldn´t have made it without him".
Jan Dahlin, Principal of Internationella Engelska Skolan i Karlstad, said: "To be the number one school in Värmland, having the number one class in Värmland, having the best student in Värmland - and having our own Ms Bodin as the number one student in Sweden is a remarkable achievement.
"We stand for and encourage an academic focus in a calm and structured school environment, with the English language as an active tool - it creates results."
