Johannes Skola

This school is known for its great bilingual (Swedish/​English) program but it also has a strong all Swedish class. I have three boys here in grades 2, 4, and 6^th. They have gone to Johannes for two years. My youngest son is in the all Swedish class and he loves it and jumps out of bed every day to go to school and to play soccer on the amazing field they have at Johannes. My older two sons are in the bilingual program and have really improved their Swedish while keeping up their mother tongue, English. I have found the school responsive when there have been issues in the classrooms once it comes to the attention of the teachers. The parents in my children’s classrooms are active and involved. There have been some issues on the soccer field with swearing and fighting, but the teachers and students are all working together to end that bad behaviour. Academically, I find the school to be interesting and progressive (all use iPads and other advanced technology). There is an incredible amount of diversity in the school with students from all over the world.
It is a gorgeous campus near several parks and the school takes many field trips to them for exercise and various science lessons.
