When you enter through the doors of IES Sundsvall, you are greeted by a warm welcome from our staff and our students. In our entrance, you immediately get a sense of who we are through our House emblem, prices in the glass cabinets, and any ongoing school team.
As you continue your walk through the corridors, you see active students having fun on their breaks by chatting with their peers, sitting engrossed in books, engaging in discussions with their teachers, or perhaps students putting the finishing touches on their homework. On our TV screen, you will probably find a bunch of students, who stop by to see who has received a "Super Hero", as a thank you for helping with something during the school day or for looking at which House is currently leading the House competition.
If you go down to the Junior Club, you can meet students who play games, dance, or create pictures and crafts, to name a few of all the activities offered there. When you leave the dining room, you can stop to listen to a discussion in the context of our competition in English, "The Great Debate" or listen to songs and music during a "Lunch Gig".
You will have a mentor who supports you both socially and academically. It is your mentor who will be the contact person between the school and home.
But really, there is nothing like "a normal day" at IES Sundsvall. There is always something going on at our school, from spirit days to competitions in the various subjects. You can be sure that something exciting always happens at IES Sundsvall.
Head of education Robin Kirk Johansson welcomes you to our digital tour.
“Pastoral care” is the social and emotional well-being of students in a school context, but it also looks at external factors and societal themes that influence and impact children. In this film, we meet Jeremy Elder, Head of Pastoral at IES. He explains our proactive and structured approach to creating an environment where every student feels seen, valued, and included.
Cambridge IGCSE is the world’s most popular qualification for 14 to 16-year-olds, and Internationella Engelska Skolan is an accredited Cambridge Associate. This means that our students can choose to study for and sit Cambridge IGCSE exams (International General Certificate of Secondary Education) at most of our schools. In this video, Frederik Granström, the Cambridge Manager at IES, discusses the unique opportunities that Cambridge courses offer our students.
