The proximity to both the forest and ski trails is significant, and these areas are frequently used by students and teachers during lessons and recesses. The teaching teams are organized by educational stage and grade level, working closely together to support all of our students. The atmosphere is characterized by openness and curiosity toward new ways of working. We place great emphasis on pedagogical discussions and collegial learning, which are the driving forces behind our development efforts. The school’s focus is on physical activity and outdoor life.
