Tyresö Times Interviews Principal at IES Tyresö

Students at Internationella Engelska Skolan (IES) Tyresö recently showcased their journalistic skills by interviewing their principal for the latest edition of the Tyresö Times. Founded and led by Ms Carlsson, one of the school’s first teachers, the student newspaper provides a creative platform where young writers develop critical thinking, communication skills, and media literacy.

The publication represents one of many extracurricular activities offered across IES schools to enrich student life beyond traditional lessons. Under the IES model, what happens outside the classroom is treated with equal importance to academic instruction. By cultivating a safe, calm, and stimulating environment, staff help students flourish, build confidence, and take active pride in their school community.

Through hands-on projects like the Tyresö Times, students experience the value of grit—persevering through deadlines, conducting interviews, and taking ownership of their work. These opportunities foster mutual respect and personal growth, preparing young learners to become active, responsible members of society.

"It was a true honour to be interviewed by our talented student journalists for the Tyresö Times," said the Principal. "Initiatives like this demonstrate the core of our school culture. When passionate teachers like Ms Carlsson empower students to find their voice and challenge themselves, it creates an inspiring environment where every student can thrive."

By pairing strong teacher leadership with structured extracurricular opportunities, IES Tyresö continues to uphold high academic standards while ensuring students feel safe, valued, and motivated every day.
