Working together is important to us. The school is divided into grade-level teams where educators and other staff organize around students' school days. Together with your mentor colleague, you will shape the pedagogical activities so that each individual student's unique conditions and abilities are utilized and challenged.
We believe that a low-affect approach is important and that all students want to reach their goals. To support this, there is also a present student health team.
