The school has the aim of being an innovative and exploratory school that leads in sustainable education and the use of technology. Our students will experience diverse and creative teaching methods, cross-disciplinary and cross-class collaboration, and active use of social media.
Students will encounter new, innovative learning environments where creativity, deep learning, and collaboration are at the center. Through ethical reflection and interdisciplinary work, we aim to provide students with attitudes and skills that enable them to work towards sustainable development.
Increased learning outcomes and completion rates are prerequisites for education to be considered sustainable. Dropout rates are not only a socioeconomic problem, but also a major risk that students who drop out of school will remain outside of the workforce and thus society in the future. This is about public health and life skills.
The relevance of education must be worked out in close collaboration with students, ensuring that they have opportunities to contribute.
