Helping your child reach their full potential
Since IES was founded in , the three pillars of our ethos have defined life in our schools:. Command of English: English is a global language and learning to command both the Swedish and English languages at an early age becomes hugely advantageous later in life. We believe fluency is best achieved through language immersion. Up to half of the education at Internationella Engelska Skolan is delivered through the English language, by native English-speaking teachers.
High academic expectations and aspirations: We are convinced that every child can achieve success irrespective of their background. This means we challenge every student to reach their full potential. We are dedicated to supporting students of every background to become responsible citizens and acquire the self-confidence and ambition to do the most with their talents.
A safe and calm school environment is a prerequisite for learning: We have clear structures and expectations as this helps students feel secure.
Where teachers can teach and students learn
This in turn is essential to a good learning environment and signals respect for the value of education. By showing respect for each other and ourselves we lay the foundations for safe and stimulating schooling. It's time to snuggle up with a good book and let your imagination run wild! Reading is a fantastic way….
The day is an annual observance dedicated…. At IES, all our schools that are part of…. Each school has its own queue, and it is not possible to move between them. However, it is possible to join the queue for more than one school at the same time. There are no fees to attend IES schools. Our schools are funded in the same way as those run by the municipality, through the Swedish tax system and the school voucher skolpeng.
In IES schools 85 per cent of teachers are qualified and , compared to the national average of 78 per cent We aim to recruit qualified teachers wherever possible.
Join Our Team
If we recruit an unqualified teacher we put a development plan in place to set out how they will become qualified. Swedish school law sets out that where teaching is conducted through the English language, teachers with a teaching degree from outside of Sweden are also qualified. The training of teachers in countries we recruit from, such as Canada, the USA and the UK, is excellent and in many ways superior to the training that Swedish student-teachers receive.
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.
