Vacant job

Södervärskolan is a primary school serving students in grades 4–9. The school currently has 650 students, with 140 in grades 4–6 and the rest in grades 7–9. The school also has an after-school center. The catchment area includes southern Visby, Eskelhem, Västerhejde, Träkumla, and Stenkumla.

Södervärskolan actively works to lay the foundation for a good learning climate by creating good relationships so that students feel comfortable and safe. In teaching, the starting point is the individual student's needs and abilities, which are developed in a group setting, resulting in good collaboration skills and social competence.

A prerequisite for students' learning is that teachers can point out the next steps in the development process. This gives students the opportunity to have a goal image to strive for and to know how to get there. Students should leave the school as knowledge-seeking and critically reviewing individuals with good self-confidence, humanistic values, and engagement.

The school works with digital learning tools where students have their own iPad as a work tool. The school has a librarian and social pedagogues as extra security for the students. A school counselor and school nurse are present at the school daily.

Södervärskolan has a good sports hall and access to its own rooms for home economics and crafts. The school has its own cooking kitchen with fantastic food as well as a newly renovated school library adjacent to the school café.
