Tyresö

"The thing that differentiates this school is the respect between the teachers and students, and that there are high demands and expectations on all students. Teachers are allowed to focus on their task of teaching and there are other functions to help the students socially. Having experienced leaders that really support their staff is also good. We teachers receive a lot of positive feedback from leadership. It helps in generating a good atmosphere."

"At IES, every student is given the possibility to reach their full potential, regardless of who they are."

"Knowing that everybody works in the same way creates a sense of security for the students as they never need to wonder what’s right or wrong – or how they’re meant to act. Not wanting to be different is only natural. New students quickly follow the example of the other children. All students, parents and employees at IES schools sign a contract agreeing to uphold our shared core values and work together to ensure that our schools remain welcoming and free from bullying. This creates a strong cohesive foundation for our organisation."
