About Amerikanska Gymnasiet

Amerikanska Gymnasiet was founded on a strong pedagogical idea. Our guiding star is that "we work to ensure our students and employees reach their full potential". Therefore, we focus on both knowledge development and personal growth. Our culture is characterized by clear rules combined with care. We call it "Frames and Hugs" (Ramar och Kramar). The school activities are organized to prepare students for an international job market in a rapidly changing world; therefore, our logo reads "Get ready for the world".

Everything that happens at the school is based on our four core values: Courage, Kindness, Knowledge & Curiosity, and Grit. In classrooms and corridors, interactions between students and staff are characterized by behaviors derived from these values. We work closely with students and always put their best interests first.
