About Vallentuna Friskola
Vallentuna Friskola is an independent school for grades 6-9, established in 2002, currently with approximately 250 students and over 30 employees.
At Vallentuna Friskola, we have high expectations for our students. Our well-educated and experienced teachers work to provide high-quality education in a safe learning environment. Our shared goal is for all students at Vallentuna Friskola to acquire good knowledge, feel secure, and develop into active, creative, competent, and responsible individuals. We highly value good relationships with students, collaboration with guardians, and are committed to helping each student reach their full potential.
Vallentuna Friskola offers a developing and exciting workplace where we collectively conduct systematic quality work. Since the 2021/2022 academic year, we have been working with the Olweus Program, which consists of a series of coordinated, research-based measures aimed at creating a school environment where students can learn, thrive, and feel safe. In addition to safety, we also work systematically and collectively on study calm.
We use the Schoolsoft school platform, and each subject creates plans and assignments in Google Classroom. All students have their own Chromebook.
Vallentuna Friskola is located at Lars Hårds Väg 20B, featuring large, spacious classrooms, consolidated special rooms, and a fantastic schoolyard with proximity to forest and exercise trails.
