Adapted Primary School

The adapted school forms are a unique educational setting for students who are assessed to not have the prerequisites to meet the knowledge requirements of primary or secondary school due to an intellectual disability.

The adapted school forms have their own curriculum, and the teaching is tailored to each student's prerequisites and needs. Within the adapted school forms in Gotland, we teach students from grades 1-9 in adapted primary school and grades 1-4 in adapted secondary school.

Currently, we have about 75 students enrolled in adapted primary school and about 40 students enrolled in adapted secondary school.
