Futuraskolan’s Got Talent! 🎭✨
On March 5th, Tibble Teater was electric! The Futuraskolan family came together for an unforgettable Annual Music Festival that was about so much more than just music—it was a celebration of dedication, teamwork, and the passion of our amazing community. 🌍❤️
The stage was alive with phenomenal talent from: ⭐ Gåshaga ⭐ Kottla ⭐ Rådan ⭐ Bergtorp ⭐ Hertig Karl ⭐ International School of Stockholm & ⭐ Stockholm
Whether it was the high-energy performances from Rådan, the alternative indie from International, or the instrumental harmony from Kottla, every single student left us speechless. 🎹🎸

Educating Future World Citizens: Futuraskolan International Bergtorp’s Global ApproachExtra Extra -Read All About it! Futuraskolan International Bergtorp’s global approach in educating future world citizens!
THEY EDUCATE THE WORLD CITIZENS OF THE FUTURE
How do you equip students for a world in constant change? At Futuraskolan International Bergtorp, an internationally-focused education is offered, where the Swedish curriculum is interwoven with global frameworks and Erasmus+ projects across Europe. Together, this creates a learning environment that develops curiosity, collaboration skills, and a strong global citizenship.
At Futuraskolan International Bergtorp, the teaching is designed to reflect what the world actually looks like – complex, interconnected, and constantly moving. The school follows the Swedish curriculum and also uses the International Middle Years Curriculum (IMYC).
The international framework helps students put their knowledge into a larger context. The teaching is cross-curricular and based on big ideas that make it clear why they learn what they do. Together with the Swedish curriculum, it provides structure, depth, and teaching that reflects how the world is truly connected, says principal Kevin Munro.
The school offers clear profiles in Creative Arts, Sports & Wellness, and Global Citizenship.
“Through extra lessons in music, global citizenship, and sports, students have the opportunity to delve deeper into their interests while simultaneously training responsibility, leadership, and collaboration. This has a positive impact on the academic side,” says Kevin.
Global Citizenship is a fundamental part of the school’s identity. Up to 50% of the teaching is in English, which strengthens the students’ linguistic and cultural competence. Through international collaborations and Erasmus+ projects, students have worked together with schools in Italy, Greece, Cyprus, and France.
“We don’t stop at the theory in books. Students encounter global challenges in conversations with peers in other countries, go on study visits, and gain a concrete understanding of how different societies work in practice,” explains Kevin.
The school also places great emphasis on safety and inclusion.
“We have a dedicated safety team and active mentorship where issues like mental health, conflict management, and equal treatment are a natural part of the school day,” Kevin clarifies.
The goal is for students to leave Bergtorp well-prepared for upper secondary school and further studies, but also with a curiosity for lifelong learning.
“We want our students to leave here with a positive attitude towards learning – for their whole lives,” says Kevin.
The school’s vision is to be “the best stepping stone for future world citizens.”
“Starting from the autumn of 2027, we also plan to accept students in grades 4 and 5, following strong demand from guardians who want their children to start in the international environment even earlier,” Kevin mentions.
At Futuraskolan International Bergtorp, the ambition is clear: to give students the best prerequisites to become safe, knowledgeable, and responsible world citizens.

DE UTBILDAR FRAMTIDENS VÄRLDSMEDBORGARE

På Futuraskolan lnternational Bergtorp erbjuds en internationellt präglad utbidlning där svensk läroplan vävs samman med globala ramverk och Erasmus+ projekt runtom i Europa. Tillsammans skapar det en lärmiljö som utvecklar nyfikenhet, samarbetsförmåga och ett starkt globalt medborgarskap.

Det internationella ramverket hjälper eleverna att sätta kunskapen i ett större sammanhang. Undervisningen är ämnesövergripande och utgår från stora idéer som gör det tydligt varför de lär som de gör. Tillsammans med den svenska läroplanen ger det struktur, djup och undervisning som speglar hur världen faktiskt hänger ihop, säger rektor Kevin Munro
Skolan erbjuder tydliga profiler inom Creative Arts, Sports & Wellness och Global CitizenshIP.
-Genom extra undervisning i musik, globalt medborgarskap, och idrott får eleverna möjlighet att fördjupa sig i sina intressen och samtidigt träna ansvar, ledarskap, och samarbete. Det smittar av sig på det akademiska, säger Kevin.
Global Citizenship är en bärande del av skolans identitet. Upp till50% av undervisningen sker på engelska vilket stärker elevernas språkliga och kulturella kompetens, Genom internationaleea samarbeten och Erasmus+ -projekt har eleverna arbetat tillsammans med skolor i bland annat Italien, Grekland, CYpern och Frankrike.
-Vi stannar inte vid teorin i böckerna. Eleverna möter globala utmaningar i samtal med jämnåriga i andra länfer, gör studebesök och får en konkret förståelse för hur olika samhällen fungerar i praktiken, berättar Kevin.
Skolan lägger även stor vikt vid trygghet och inkludering.
-Vi har ett dedikerat trygghetsteam och ett aktivt mentorskapdär frågor som psykisk hälsa, konflikthantering och likabehandling är en naturlig del av skolvardagen, förklarar Kevin.
Målet är att eleverna lämnar Bergtorp väl förberedda för gymnasiet och vidare studier men också med en nyfikenhet på fortsatt lärande.
-Vi vill att våra elever går härifrån med en posistiv inställning till lärande – hela livet, säger Kevin.
Skolans vision är att vara “the best stepping stone for future world citizens”.
-Från och med hösten 2027 planerar vi även att ta emot elever i årskurs 4 och 5, efter stark efterfrågan från vårdnadhavare som vill att barnen ska börja i den internationella miljön ännu tidigare, berättar Kevin.
På Futuraskolan International Bergtorp är ambitionen tydlig: att ge eleverna de bästa förutsättningarna att bli trygga, kunniga och ansvarstagande världsmedborgare.

Futuraskolan Top-Ranked Among Major School Organizations in Sweden – Letter from CEO Tom Callahan
Letter from the CEO – Futuraskolan – December 19, 2025
Good day parents in the Futuraskolan community,
After a week filled with development meetings and visits to several of our campuses, I was fortunate to spend time with our young learners, whose curiosity, humour, and warmth continue to inspire all of us at Futuraskolan. Whether sharing conversations over lunch with students in Stockholm or engaging in lively discussions with Student Council representatives across the organization, I am reminded daily of the tremendous capacity our young learners possess. We thank you for the trust you place in us to guide your children’s social and academic journeys. We remain deeply committed to honouring that trust.
I write to you today to update you on important developments across the organization and to celebrate the remarkable achievements of your students. Based on Skolverket’s recently published academic results from the 2024-2025 academic year, it is clear that Futuraskolan students continue to set the standard for excellence.
We are proud to share this year’s academic performance results, which highlight the strength and consistency of learning across our organization. Futuraskolan AB ranks at the top among major school organizations in Sweden, reflecting our shared commitment to high-quality teaching and student development.
Grade 9 academic results – 2024-2025:
∙ Futuraskolan AB – 276,0
∙ Jensen Education College AB – 262,9
∙ Raoul Wallenbergskolorna AB – 257,7
∙ Dibber Skola AB – 256,6
∙ Nordic International School AB – 255,4
∙ Internationella Engelska Skolan i Sverige AB – 254,1
∙ Kunskapsskolan i Sverige Aktiebolag – 248,5
∙ Pysslingen Förskolor och Skolor AB – 243,6
∙ AcadeMedia fria grundskolor AB – 235,7
We are also pleased to recognize the outstanding achievements of three of our schools, each of which earned national distinction for academic success:
∙ Futuraskolan International Rådan – Ranked 2nd in Sweden
∙ Futuraskolan International Stockholm – Ranked 32nd in Sweden
∙ Futuraskolan International Kottla – Ranked 38th in Sweden
These results reflect the dedication of our staff, the engagement of our students, and the trust and partnership of our families.
As you know, our work is rooted in three developmental pillars: Academic Excellence, Digital Competence, and Global Citizenship. Across our preschools and schools, we continually evolve our integration of ICT tools to empower learning. AR, VR, and multilingual digital books support conceptual exploration and early language development. Coding and programming concepts are introduced through playful pattern-building, music, and mathematical direction. In our classrooms, students use a wide suite of programs and creative platforms to present their understanding in ways that best suit their learning styles. With personal devices available to every student and modern digital tools embedded throughout our curriculum, we remain committed to engaging our 21st-century learners with innovative instructional practices.
As AI tools grow increasingly sophisticated, we are seeing meaningful enhancements in how we personalize instruction and offer students more tailored learning pathways. Still, balance and digital well-being remain essential. Our digital literacy initiatives help students navigate
technology responsibly, reinforcing habits that support both strong learning and healthy living.
Our Global Citizenship Program continues to expand its reach. Originally grounded in community and service initiatives and international outreach, the GCP now works to deepen the understanding of the UN Sustainable Development Goals across all Futuraskolan schools and preschools, strengthen organizational sustainability, and build meaningful community partnerships. Current projects include outreach to senior homes, food-waste reduction initiatives, children’s rights activities, participation in Håll Sverige Rent and Grön Flagg, digital exchanges within the EU, and our ongoing collaboration with Destination Medmänniska to support families in need.
Looking ahead to the 2026–2027 school year, we are thrilled to add new opportunities, including an expanded Grade 9 Erasmus-funded exchange to Greece focused on sustainability and refugee support, and a Grade 6 environmental pilot project with Hands2Ocean involving underwater clean-ups, environmental testing, and awareness building through creative art installations.
In support of continued excellence, our professional development plan remains robust. This year, various core groups will attend Nordic Network of International Schools, European Council of International Schools, and international leadership conferences across Europe, ensuring that Futuraskolan remains at the forefront of research-based and globally informed educational practice.
To ensure our educators remain leaders in international education, we continue to prioritize meaningful professional development across our organization. This year, the following teams will engage in focused training and collaboration:
∙ Special Pedagogues and Curators – European Council of International Schools Inclusion Conference, October 23–25, 2025 in Vienna
∙ First Position Teachers – Nordic Network of International Schools Educators Conference, November 14–15, 2025 in Vilnius
∙ Middle Leaders Development Program participants Year 2 – Nordic Network Leadership Conference, March 13–14, 2026 in Gdansk
∙ School and Preschool Leadership Teams – European Council of International Schools Leadership Conference, April 23–25, 2026 in Lisbon
Providing these opportunities ensures that our educators stay connected to global best practices and continue to bring fresh perspectives and research-based strategies into their classrooms.
We are also expanding opportunities for student voice and creativity. I will be visiting all Student Councils again in the spring term to gather feedback, deepen collaboration, and strengthen student involvement in shaping our organizational development.
Finally, due to growing demand, we are delighted to share that Futuraskolan International Bergtorp will be expanding to include Grades 4 and 5 beginning in August 2027. This important development strengthens our mission to offer an engaging, globally minded education from an earlier age.
Under the strong leadership of Kevin Munro and his dedicated team, our new younger learners will experience the same curiosity-driven, creative, and internationally focused environment that defines the Futuraskolan experience. Guided by the International Middle Years Curriculum (IMYC) and enriched through our signature programs in Creative Arts, Global Citizenship, and Sports & Wellness, students are supported in developing both academic excellence and personal growth.
As part of one of Sweden’s top-performing school organizations in Grade 9 merit points, we are committed to laying the strongest possible foundation for lifelong learning—now beginning in Grade 4. Registration is now open through Schoolsoft, and our team is happy to assist families with any questions. We look forward to welcoming new learners and beginning this exciting new chapter together.
Lastly, to assist the parent community in fostering strong and independent achievers we present to you a core parenting concept, ‘’Stop Should’ing your Child’’.
Effective parenting thrives on communication that builds trust, confidence, and problem solving skills. While it is often easy to point out what a child should have done differently, doing so rarely supports growth. “Should have” statements shift the focus from solutions to shame, making children hesitant to bring challenges or mistakes to their parents.
Instead, we encourage parents to communicate directly and respectfully about expectations and impacts. Statements like “I want you to call me when you’re going to be late so I don’t worry” or “I would like you to finish your school work at school” express needs clearly without blame. This helps children stay open to guidance and take responsibility for their choices.
By removing “should have” from our vocabulary, we keep communication open and constructive. When children feel safe approaching their parents without fear of criticism, they grow in confidence, responsibility, and emotional resilience. Parenting with clarity and empathy builds stronger relationships—allowing children to learn, reflect, and thrive.
We have exciting opportunities ahead, and none of this would be possible without the intelligence, perseverance, and spirit your students bring to our schools each day. They continue to impress us, inspire us, and affirm our belief in the power of education to shape a bright future.
Wishing you all a warm, family-oriented winter holidays ahead. On behalf of myself and the entire leadership team, thank you for entrusting us with your children’s social and academic development. We remain passionately committed to honouring your trust.
Sincerely yours,
Tom Callahan
CEO Futuraskolan
