Description of Operations

Tallbackaskolan is a preschool through 6th grade school with approximately 325 students, as well as an after-school care program and two preparatory classes, located in a residential neighborhood between Gällivare and Malmberget. At Tallbackaskolan, we implement elements of the Gällivare Model, which means that each class in grades 1–2 has a lead teacher and a class mentor. In grades 3–6, a lead teacher works with the support of a class mentor who may be assigned to one or more classes. The central student health services are located on the school grounds, and students have access to a school counselor, a school nurse, two special education teachers, a school psychologist, and the principals. The after-school program complements the school by developing students’ abilities through various forms of expression, based on their interests.
