Welcome to Futuraskolan International Bergtorp, 4th & 5th Graders -Fall Term 2026
Futuraskolan was founded in 2001 with academic excellence, digital competence and community engagement and support as our organizational pillars. As a formal component of our international curriculum model every student in our organizations schools and preschools are active in various projects that are aimed to help better their local community. At all of our schools and preschools you will see innovative digital learning taking place. Futuraskolan has earned the distinction of being Sweden’s highest rated free school organization based on grading accuracy and students’ academic results for the current 2023-2024 academic year.
At Futuraskolan International Bergtorp we are passionate about having the students drive their individual academic development. By offering enrichment programs aimed at engaging students in their learning journey we are able to personalize the student experience with the aim of facilitating lifelong learning processes. We offer Sport and Fitness, Theatre and Music and our Erasmus+ based Global Citizenship Program. We have yearly student exchanges where students travel to Greece, Italy, France, Iceland and Germany, with new projects planned every year. As well, students in our Sport and Fitness programs and students in Theatre and Music programs have the opportunity to showcase their talents internationally through international showcases and competitions.
Based on our strong organizational academic results and the positive feedback we regularly receive from students and parents in the organization we are experiencing an ever increasing demand to expand our operations in the greater Stockholm region. Currently we are exploring expanding our program at Futuraskolan International Bergtorp to include students in grades 4 and 5. This enhancement of our program would be in effect starting in August 2026.

Futuraskolan Master Chef 2024: A Culinary Experience to Remember!
Futuraskolan is proud to present the highlights of our annual MasterChef competition, where our talented 6th-grade finalists showcased their culinary skills at the home offices of Martin & Servera.
This year’s competition was truly remarkable, with five pairs of students from five of our seven Futuraskolan schools: Gåshaga, Hertig Karl, Bergtorp, Stockholm Bilingual, and Rådan, battling it out in the kitchen.
Our young chefs displayed extraordinary creativity and passion, presenting dishes that were both visually appealing and utterly delicious. The judge, Futuraskolan’s Head Chef, Oskar Hagdahl, was impressed by the finalists’ ability to combine flavors, textures, and techniques in such innovative ways.
After a nail-biting competition, Gåshaga’s own Diana & Dexter took the prize and were titled Master Chefs of Futuraskolan 2024. The spirit of collaboration, learning, and fun that filled the air will be remembered by all of our fantastic finalists who participated.
Congratulations to all our finalists for their outstanding performances. We are immensely proud of your culinary talents and the way you represented your schools.

This year Futuraskolan International’s Global Citizen Project (GCP) traveled to Greece participating in the Erasmus EU program in collaboration with the Themistocles School in Athens, Greece.
At the same time, Futuraskolan students volunteered for two Greek NGO’s @elix.greece and @hamogelo.
We would like to thank our parent community for their generous donations for the two NGO’s and our amazing students for volunteering 🇬🇷 It was an incredible experience and one our learners (and staff) won’t forget.
Here is a short film showing our 7 days in Greece, such a wonderful time! Thank you to Ms. Kat Bignold from Gåshaga Elementary School, who made sure to film and take photos so that we can share your wonderful experience.
Follow our Day to Day Experience below the film!
The Global Citizenship Program is in Athens, Greece!
A project in the works for some time: 24 of our amazing Grade 9 Learners and 10 accompanying staff got the chance to explore the beauty and history on Sunday. An amazing cultural opportunity made possible by the European Unions Erasmus+ Program!Global Citizenship Program Greece 2024 has landed in Athens! #globalcitizenship
Day 1: Travel Day to Athens, Greece!
Day 2: Collaboration between Themistoklis and Futuraskolan students in Athens, Greece
In the morning, we met with our partner school for this project – @themistoklis_school – where the Learners made some amazing connections, as well as learning about the school’s work with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, and about the European Parliament. In the afternoon, we visited @elix.greece – an aid organisation that works with the education of refugee children. The donations collected by our GCP Learners will go a long way to helping out those in need.
Day 3: What an experience!
Futuraskolan continued its partnership-building with @themistoklis_school. Our Learners and Staff were blown away by all the sustainability goals -focused Erasmus projects they have had – we are all very inspired for the future. We ended our time with a huge game of volleyball in the courtyard.
The afternoon was spent with @elix.greece. Futuraskolan Learners had the opportunity to directly interact and assist in lessons for the refugee children – ages ranging from 6 to 17. Staff had the opportunity to meet with Elix’s central Coordinator and hear about the challenges experienced in the refugee camps
Day 4: We were so busy we forgot to post! No news is good news, right?
Day 5: What a day!
We have spent the morning visiting Elliniko-Argyroupoli Fire Lookout Station. We worked with ELIX and the fire station volunteers to walk the hill and collect plastic. It was valuable work for us to contribute to this project creating the first plastic free mountain in Greece. #futuraskolanvolunteering #day5
Day 6 of our Global Citizens in Greece!
Today we visited @hamogelo (Smile of a Child) – an organisation that works with refugee, displaced, and unhomed children from the ages of 4-17. Our Learners helped with some facilities maintenance to assist in keeping a stress-free environment for the children and staff. We also brought some clothing and toy donations that had been collected over the previous weeks.
In the afternoon, we had some downtime for a quick spot of shopping and later, team games back at the hotel.
That’s a wrap!
Friendships made, partnerships established, adventures and experiences had – what an amazing week!
There’s something beautiful having the opportunity to witness our Learners experience a different world view and grow from this encounter. Each of our Learners rose to the occasion presented in this trip and listening to their reflections has been heart-warming. A sincere thank you to all 24 of our amazing Futuraskolan GCP Learners ❤️
Thank you so very much to @themistoklis_school, @elix.greece, and @hamogelo (Smile of the Child) – all the work that you do is incredible and inspiring, and we eagerly look to the future.
