In an open and creative environment, our students develop together with many adults. With clear rules, we create safety for our students. At Polhem's adapted upper secondary school, activities, nationalities, and languages together form the soul of the school. Here, knowledge, culture, and health are at the center. The school is located near Fridhemsplan with several subway lines and buses, making it easy for both students and staff to get to school. In the vicinity of the school, there are culture and services, parks, and green areas within walking distance.

Currently, about 190 students attend Polhem's adapted upper secondary school. 135 students study the national programs, and about 55 students study the individual program.
