An IES Jönköping student won an entrepreneurship contest with an app to help A-tractor drivers stay safe, now she is hoping to bring it to app stores.
Märit Lundberg graduated from grade nine at IES Jönköping this August. In her spare time she has also been working on a problem that plagues young drivers - GPS apps don’t cater for vehicles they can use, namely A tractors or in some cases the older EPA tractors.
The car-like vehicles can only travel at a limited speed and as such are not allowed on motorways, something that other GPS solutions do not take account of.
An ambitious international science and technology project inspired students from around Europe to work together and take their learning to the next level.
Schools from five European countries joined Internationella Engelska Skolan Kista as part of the STEAM Embassies project. Teachers and children from Turkey, Ireland, Romania, Latvia and Italy, all visited IES Kista as part of the several-year project promoting science, technology, engineering, arts and maths (STEAM).
The schools collaborated to share their technology curriculum and the students all learned together.
More than 4,000 IES students across Sweden graduated after completing year nine, ready to move on to their next challenge.
IES schools throughout Sweden took the chance to celebrate everything that their year nine students have achieved throughout their years of education.
Every student is different but during their time at school they have all contributed to school life in their own unique way, faced challenges, developed academically, and grown into themselves.
Do you want to work in an environment where teachers can teach and students learn? Watch this video to find out why IES is a special place to work.
To speak English "well" is not enough in today's world, writes Ms Barbara Bergström, the American science teacher who founded the English School in 1993.
Young Swedes should acquire a total inner security when speaking English. Our schools offer the best environment for achieving this. An important part of our success is that we provide a secure environment for teaching and learning. Schools should have a calm environment where teachers can teach and students learn.
These founding ideas have laid a solid ground for success. Internationella Engelska Skolan is today the largest free school organization at the compulsory level ("Grundskolan") in Sweden. Some 28 000 students attend our 39 schools around the country.

Våra skolor är skolor där lärare kan undervisa och elever kan lära. Detta beror möjligtvis på den starka betoningen Internationella Engelska Skolan har på att skapa en trygg och lugn miljö vilket främjar undervisning och inlärning.
All vår personal jobbar för att skapa den bästa inlärningsmiljön i skolan, istället för att lägga tid och energi på att etablera förutsättningar för lärande kan de istället kliva in i sitt klassrum med vetskapen om att deras lektion kommer att börja i tid och fortlöpa smidigt utan avbrott.
