The school is in the town of Älmhult, southern Sweden, which is a safe and convenient place for families to live.
We are an IB school, which means that we are progressive and work to develop the skills for the 21st century and prepare our students for an ever-changing world.

The International School of Älmhult was authorized for The International Baccalaureate's Primary Years Programme in May 2003 and for The Middle Years Programme in May 2009. The school has a friendly atmosphere and all lessons are given in English.
The EYP and the PYP 1 and 2 team, has over the last years worked to implement the enhanced PYP program in our school. Two years ago we onboarded Toddle as a learning and communication platform. Your team will consist of a group of leaders who would like to call themselves life-long learners and who would like to put learning at the center of everything they do. It can be during a TTT session (teacher teaching teachers) or in the form of a Collective Inquiry or when learning together from mistakes. Being reflective in your approach to teaching and how you connect to the students, plays a major role in creating a good learning environment.
