Parent Experience

Community, involvement and what it's like to be a parent at this school

History

In 1995, Rita Ahonen and Anette Parts opened the School with years 1–6 and after-school activities. They set up the Docendo Discimus foundation in 1997 to establish the best school in Sweden. They aimed to combine the best of Estonian and Swedish school systems to create an international concept, with a focus on languages and mathematics. In 2006 the School was separated into two campuses, with years 0–5 moving to Luntmakargatan and years 6–9 moving to Gotlandsgatan; in 2014 years 6–9 moved to Luntmakargatan and the English-speaking IB course was launched. Today the School remains an IB World School offering the PYP and MYP and continues to maintain high teaching standards.
