About Grillska Gymnasium Uppsala

Grillska Gymnasium in Uppsala is located in a quiet and pleasant area with comfortable premises in Ekebybruk. The school offers six different national programs, both university-preparatory and vocational programs. The personal meeting, pride among students and teachers, innovation, and results in the form of knowledge and personal development are important cornerstones of our operations. What characterizes the school is a close collaboration between students and teachers in a secure study environment.

Grillska Gymnasium in Uppsala has existed since 2013 and currently educates approximately 350 students in both university-preparatory and vocational programs. We are a very dedicated staff group that works together with a focus on students' knowledge development and well-being.

Stadsmissionens Skolstiftelse is a non-profit organization that runs upper secondary education at Grillska Gymnasium and Grillska's adapted upper secondary school, as well as adult education at Stadsmissionens Yrkeshögskola. With approximately 3,000 students and learners, we are one of Sweden's largest non-profit educational providers.

Being non-profit means primarily that we are not driven by any other interests than our vision – a school for a more humane society. The schools are independent schools run in foundation form, which means there is no owner who takes out profit. Any surplus goes to the development of the operations.

Our schools work with learning and development within common focus areas. These areas fall under the three headings of pedagogy, health, and civic engagement. We develop what, according to science and proven experience, has a positive impact on the learning situation, on the work for the health of students and learners, and so that our students and learners can go out into the world with strong civic engagement.

The foundation founder, Stockholm City Mission, has been running education since 1857, and we share the same basic, humane view of humanity and values.

Through education, we can prevent exclusion and strengthen the individual's belief in themselves and their own abilities, and work towards our vision of a school for a more humane society.
