Vega School is looking for an engaged teacher in technology and TM craftsmanship

Do you have ideas for the future and are you driven by challenges? In Haninge, you will develop alongside supportive colleagues who want to make a difference today. Right now, one of the most ambitious change efforts in our municipality's history is underway. We are building a new city, about 20 minutes from Söder. Join us on our journey.

Welcome to develop with us

Together, we shape the future of the world! In Vegastaden, just south of Stockholm, lies Vega School and activity house.

Here, the culture and leisure administration, together with the education administration, creates a place where visitors and students can Learn, Discover, and Meet. Do you want to help shape the school of the future? Then apply to Vega School!

The building itself is one of the hottest and most monitored construction projects in Stockholm. In addition to operations for grades F – 9 and adapted primary school, there is a full-size sports hall, public library, youth center, cultural school, orchestra hall, and a café. The school's premises are spacious, modernly furnished, and contain everything required for high-quality teaching. When fully developed, the school accommodates approximately 750 students in grades F-9, after-school care, and an adapted primary school. During the day, our premises are used by the school. After school hours, cultural school, associations, private individuals, and other actors conduct activities in the premises. The culture and leisure administration and education administration staff closely collaborate in these premises to create opportunities for broader learning.

Parts of the middle school premises are also prepared for overnight stays during camps and tournaments.

As the school is the municipality's newest and one of the most modern, both research and proven experience will permeate the educational environment.

Welcome to a school where we learn, discover, and meet together!

Vega continues to grow in middle school, and we now need to establish a completely new work team, work team 7. This means that the middle school will be fully developed by autumn, where we have 5 parallel classes from grades 7–9.
