Support bilingualism and cultural understanding

Support our children to be truly bilingual and bicultural. Understanding other languages and cultures sets our children off to be both innovative and open-minded: Traits we need in future leaders.
​
Our school is a non-profit organization, with over 50 families with around 100 children who meet once a week. One or both parents are Swedish and all classes are taught in Swedish. The purpose is to promote students ability to speak and read Swedish, and strengthen the students' understanding of their heritage and culture. Understanding multiple languages and cultures, students capture new concepts, and their ability to reflect and understand the surrounding world grows.

Promoting literacy, we also provide an extensive library of Swedish books for children of all ages.
