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.

Welcome to Futuraskolan International Preschool Kvarnskogen!

“Our home away from home”

The kids at Skarpäng Preschool were inspired by the arrival of the spring, so we celebrated by planting sunflowers together. “In the earth we plant a seed, with hope, love and care. Watch it grow, and soon you’ll see, the beauty we share”.

✨🇬🇷 Day 6 of the GCP Greece Trip! 
Today, our students had an amazing hands-on experience learning to make authentic Greek food at the Hotel Brain Academy! Using seasonal and locally sourced ingredients, they crafted delicious dishes and, of course, enjoyed every bite of their hard work. 🇬🇷✨

Afterward, we headed back to our hotel to pack up, with some students soaking up the last bit of beach time while others caught up on some much-needed rest.

The evening wrapped up on the hotel veranda with pizza and heartfelt thank-yous from the students to our incredible chaperones-and, of course, the amazing Fareeha for organizing such an unforgettable trip!

GCP Greece Trip - Day 5 (Part 2)
In the afternoon, we traveled to Acharnon to collaborate with Elix and the Acharnon Schools Parent Association on a meaningful project-rejuvenating and decorating the school playground and walls!

With paintbrushes in hand and teamwork in action, we worked together to create a vibrant and inspiring space for future generations of children. Seeing the transformation and knowing the positive impact it will have made the experience truly rewarding!

A huge thank you to Elix and the local community for welcoming us into this incredible initiative. Every small effort counts towards a brighter future!

✨🇬🇷 Day 4: Exploring Nature & Creativity in Greece! 🇬🇷✨

Today, we immersed ourselves in the beauty of the Botanic Gardens, learning about a variety of trees and plants-both native and foreign. Some even had fascinating connections to Greek mythology!
The highlight of the morning? 

A breathtaking display of birds of prey! We got up close with owls, eagles, and falcons, witnessing their incredible agility and grace in action.

In the afternoon, we returned to Themistoklis school for some hands-on creativity! We crafted traditional March bracelets and got inventive with bottle cap art, blending culture and sustainability. A perfect way to end the day!

✨🇬🇷 Day 3 of our GCP Greece trip was full of learning, culture and community! 🇬🇷✨

In the morning, we visited Themistoklis School, where we were warmly greeted by the students. They shared insightful presentations about their school, followed by our Futuraskolan students presenting about theirs. The highlight was a powerful performance by the Greek students, showcasing their hard work on the Greek Revolution. After a tour of the school, we enjoyed a delicious lunch before heading to a local beach for a litter-picking activity. 

In just one hour, the students collected an impressive 920 bottle caps! What an amazing day of collaboration, learning, and making a difference.
