Our Vision

“To operate an outstanding school in which every student, through personalised learning and clear goals, will stretch their boundaries and learn more than they thought possible"

All people are different

All people are different and learn in different ways and at different rates.

Challenging goals and clear requirements Each students shall be able to stretch their limits and achieve more than they thought possible.  

Education for Life (Bildning)We prepare students to live and work in a modern, global society with its ever-changing challenges and difficult choices.  

“Life is what I make it”We shall give each student a foundation for personal development where self-discipline, self-knowledge, a sense of responsibility and a trust in one’s ownability provides the foundation for a constructive attitude, the essence of which is that “life is what I make it”. 

Our Values

Start with the student. Not some statistical average of a student, but the individual student with all of her individual ambitions and needs.

Set the goals and decide on the optimal strategies to reach them.

Dedicate a teacher to her as a personal learning coach, supporting the student in every step to reach her goals.

Develop the material, the infrastructure and the processes supporting the learning.

Design the facilities, not only for standardized teaching but for personalized learning.

Leverage on all the opportunities for personalized support, real time feedback and access to best practices provided by modern technology.

The KED Program

Rooms for Learning.

Rooms for Learning The Arena is the

assembly hall of our schools, perfect for an introductory lecture, gathering an entire year group or holding large presentations.

Rooms for Learning The editorial office is

our room corresponding to the office landscape of a modern work place: An open space where students and teachers interact, work together or individually and where there always is a teacher in reach.

Rooms for Learning Sometimes the

best way of learning is just to retire to a solitary space on your own.

Rooms for Learning We have rooms in

different sizes and shapes, such as base rooms where 20 students can have lessons, smaller rooms for group studies and rooms suitable for individual studies or the individual coaching sessions students have every week.

Rooms for Learning

The café is the heart of the school. Between meals or after lessons, this is where we meet, interact or continue our studies. Some people always prefer doing their homework in the kitchen at home, where they are surrounded by others. Some students prefer the café as their favourite learning space.
