Careers

We recruit the best teachers from Sweden and around the world

Some subjects are taught through one language. English, maths and science are taught through English whilst Swedish, SVA, SO and our special educators teach through Swedish. Other subjects vary in the language of tuition on a school by school basis and after consideration of who the best teacher is.

Our schools are places where teachers can teach and students can learn.  This is possible  because of the strong emphasis Internationella Engelska Skolan places on creating a safe and calm environment which is conducive to teaching and learning. That environment helps everyone to concentrate on their lessons.

All of our staff pull together to create the best learning environment through the school so that rather than using time and energy to establish the preconditions for learning, our teachers are able to step into the classroom knowing that their lessons will start on time and then run smoothly and without disruption.
