The school is beautifully situated between the church and open fields. On the schoolyard, there is a small school garden where students and teachers can grow and work together. Many teachers have come to Väskinde School and chosen to stay because they enjoy being part of the team and working with the students, and we currently have an opportunity for you to apply for a position here at the school.
