Kvarnskogen - Futuraskolan
International Curriculum International School of Stockholm

Who we are

Futuraskolan International pre-school Kvarnskogen is a bilingual pre-school with children and staff from all over the world. We have an international perspective preparing the children to be citizens of the world and our pedagogical activities are performed in Swedish and English.

English is our common language, but we are able to support the children in other languages.

Our Location

The preschool is located in spacious and nice premises in a quiet residential area in Kvarnskogen. We have a large playground with a proximity to forests and natural areas. The Pre-school is easily reached by bus.

What we offer and how we work

Futuraskolans vision is that we want to be the best springboard for future global citizens. We do this by introducing the English language early and creating an understanding of similarities in the different cultures of the world. We learn the English language in a playful way through play and songs.

We work with the International Early Years Curriculum, IEYC.  IEYC is an international, thematic, creative curriculum with a clear process of learning with specific learning goals for each topic. We see that this method benefits children’s curiosity and creativity while stimulating participation and dedication. Through the thematic element and the subject-integrated approach, it creates the whole and context for the children.

We also place great emphasis on children’s language development. Managing their language in meeting with other children and adults creates joy and increase confidence about their own self, which in turn gives them a good sense of self-esteem.

Our outdoor environment allows for many different games and activities where the children naturally exercise their gross motor skills and we spend a lot of time outdoors. The proximity to the forest is a great asset that we have  and we visit it every week during all seasons of the year.

We use the TYRA app as our main communication platform. TYRA enables the guardians to see our daily organisation and work with the children in the pre-school. The guardians are continuously updated on what the children are learning about as well as informed and reminded about special days and events.

Day 5: Futuraskolan Delegration in Greece

Today, we had a rewarding day with our 9th graders in Athens.

We started by visiting a local nursing home where the students spent time with the residents and participated in a few activities. It was a meaningful experience for everyone involved. (Global Goal 3: Good Health and Well-being & Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities)
Afterward, we headed into the city for some sightseeing and lunch. 

We wrapped up the day with a visit to the famous Temple of Poseidon on the outskirts of Athens, enjoying the sunny weather and a bit of cultural history. (Global Goal 4: Quality Education & Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities)

Day 4: Futuraskolan Delegation in Greece

We spent half day participating in a reforestation project of Hymettos Mountain with @elix.greece and our other partner organisation SPAY with our friends and partner @themistoklis_school It was an amazing experience for our learners.

In the afternoon, our learners got some much deserved downtime for shopping and exploring the Plaka region of Athens before touring the Acropolis!

Day 3: Futuraskolan delegation in Greece

“The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it.” - Robert Swan
Our partnership with@themistoklis_school continued with “giving life” to the learners collaborative creations of individuals suffering from bullying and following with reflective discussion on how to help in such situations.
From there, we took a brief dive into the data of plastic waste and our oceans with MIO. We then followed with a “ tinkering” exercise themed on upcycling. Our creative learners made fashion accessories and posters from plastic trash.

An incredibly busy day with plenty of fun and individual growth.

Day 2 - Futuraskolan delegation in Greece!
“Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always.” Robin Williams

Partnering with @themistoklis_school our learners collaborated in small groups on “BAM: Bullying A Matter of self esteem”. They presented their views on the possible impacts of bullying on youth and proceeded to explore ways in which someone experiencing such social challenges can get help or be helped.
