Work hard, be kind.
Med utgångspunkt i vad forskningen visar leder till god kunskapsutveckling och sociala förmågor, har vi utvecklat ett koncept vi kallar för ”Work hard, be kind.”
Vårt arbetssätt kännetecknas av tre grundpelare: Kunskapsutveckling med ordning och reda, en internationell profil och undervisningsmetoder med stöd i forskning.
The positives :
The teachers are nice and welcoming.
Most of the teachers are really good at teaching so if you get lucky and you get into a good class with respectful students then all of your lessons will be filled with joy and knowledge.
Fun events
Every 1-2 months we get an activity day, in my opinion, they are really good to destress and enjoy my "school life". In this school we also have a student of the month, the event seems to be fun but I've never gotten the award so I can't fully say.
Beautiful view.
Every time I feel stressed I like to look out to the beautiful view of the river right next to our school. It gets especially pretty at lunchtime in winter and early in the summer mornings.
The Negatives :
In my opinion, the biggest issue in this school is the in higher classes students, I hope I don't get in trouble for saying this but the classes could be rowdy if the teachers don't hold the students on a tight leash. This could get out of hand quickly for example when there's a substitute.
So working here as a teacher could be difficult because you have to maintain a healthy balance of being strict enough to make the students pay attention while still being fun to be around.
Mediocre food
When I first went here the food was really good but there has been a steady incline in the food's quality to the point that now I've seen people eating pasta with ketchup every day.
Conclusion
In my opinion, this school is really good but it get brought down by the students, the teachers are good, the environment is perfect for learning (if you don't count the kids), I wanted to rate it a 4.5 but that wasn't an option so that kinda sucks. Also bring back 7A !
