Stockholm – our capital city with millions of dreams, expectations, and ambitions

We work for everyone living here today and in the future. We are now looking for you who want to think big, new, and differently with us – for the people of Stockholm.

Welcome to us

Are you a special education teacher with a focus on IF and have experience working in adapted primary schools? Do you want to help continue developing one of Stockholm's largest adapted primary schools? "We know what we can do, where we are going, and how we will get there - Together we take the next step."

Hökarängsskolan covers grades 1-9 and preschool class as well as after-school care, leisure club, and adapted primary school. The school serves approximately 550 students.

Hökarängsskolan aims to be a school for everyone: Each student should be engaged in good learning processes, feel comfortable and well here and now, and leave school with good results and well-prepared for the future. The staff should be committed and have high expectations of each other, themselves, and the students. The students should be engaged, involved, and responsible. As part of our development work, teachers meet in pedagogical development groups to enhance teaching.

Hökarängsskolan is a newly renovated school from the 1950s with large, beautiful premises. The entrance and the school's light hall are welcoming and the heart of the school. Here you will find student health facilities, administration, staff rooms, workrooms, maintenance, music, and craft classrooms. Adjacent to the light hall, there is an entire corridor with the adapted school's facilities.
