We believe every child can succeed, whatever their background and so we support every student to reach their full potential.
We believe that by showing basic respect for each other and ourselves, we lay the foundation for safe and stimulating schooling, and prepare students for higher education, working life and society.
We teach using the Swedish national curriculum and up to half the education in our school is delivered through the English language by qualified teachers from English-speaking countries including Canada, the USA, and the UK.
Leslie Pousette
Principal
As principal of IES Österåker I have a clear vision of the school that I want for my students. It has been forged over 22 years while teaching and working with children in Swedish schools. As an educator, I understand the profound impact a school has on a child. This responsibility is not taken lightly; it’s the very reason I wholeheartedly embrace the IES ethos.
