Every school year we start with the Brainwave unit. We are learning about the brain and how it works. We will be exploring the ways in which we can use our brains to learn lots of new and different things every day, enabling us to gain the knowledge, skills and understanding that we will need to become successful adults. By finding out more about how we learn, and how we can improve the way that we learn, we will be better equipped for meeting the many challenges ahead of us.
About us
Futuraskolan International Rådan is a bilingual school with an international focus and caters for Grades F-9. The foundation of our education is the Swedish curriculum. In an increasingly globalized and challenging world, we believe that knowledge of languages is essential. A bilingual school means that English and Swedish have equal roles. Not only do the students experience English in school subjects, but they also encounter and use it more everyday, for example in the playground and at Fritidshemmet.
We are also working to develop the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) and the International Middle Years Curriculum (IMYC) as a way of working in our school. We believe that these curricula promotes student curiosity, creativity, participation and commitment. We see that the thematic elements and the topic-integrated approach creates a whole and meaningful context for our students.
Futuraskolan International’s values are based on progressiveness, energy and respect (PER). Progress is reached partly because our education is based on scientific foundations and proven experience. A part of that follows current developments in the field of information and communication technology (ICT). The preschool to grade 6 classes are currently working with iPads as part of the teaching and grades 7-9 are working with Chromebooks.
Language is one of the keys to development, both individually and socially. During the school year, we actively promote reading and writing strategies at the school.
We have an active School Council (School and Parent Association), which is an important part of the work at Futuraskolan International Rådan. The School Council is made up of parent representatives from all school classes. Its role is advisory (no decision making) and the group works toward developing meaningful cooperation between school and home.
Our vision is to be the best stepping stone for future world citizens.
We welcome you to Futuraskolan International Rådan!
