Dear Guardians

Internationella Engelska Skolan stands for some tried and tested values. I stand firmly behind those values. We strive to achieve a calm learning environment where teachers can teach and students learn. We achieve this by establishing structure and order but also by promoting positive staff-to-student, and student-to-student, relationships. I want our students to understand that success and happiness in life don’t come quickly from downloading apps or watching video clips on social media.

At IES Linköping we believe in having high academic expectations for our students. This means you can guarantee that we believe all children, no matter what their background, can exceed their potential. With structured and engaging lessons, regular homework, support and challenges, students will gain knowledge, and knowledge is everything! It brings growth, freedom, independence, confidence and influence. I have high aspirations for our children but getting there doesn’t come quickly and is not always an easy ride. This is where we need your support.

I am a parent, I know it is not always easy.

We have high expectations, but rest assured, we will see your child and we will praise them. We will support and care for them. They are our shared treasure, our greatest investment in life.

I wish you and our children the very best of success and I look forward to getting to know you, working with you and celebrating with you!

Warmest Regards,

Mr. Henrik Svärd
Principal
