Welcome to Rydsbergsskolan

Those of us who work at Rydsbergsskolan work daily according to the motto "I want you to do well."

We have highly competent teachers, well-functioning structures and routines, supportive leadership, and we work to continuously develop together.

Rydsbergsskolan has been selected as a training school for the University of Gothenburg, which means we host many student teachers who complete their practicum with our skilled teachers. Our contact with the university helps our school keep up with the latest school research.

We work to adapt all teaching for students with Neurodevelopmental Disorders (NPF) and have a well-functioning system to help students in need of support (flex units). Additionally, we have a special teaching group focusing on promoting attendance and psychosocial pedagogical work.

We have an increased basic staffing level to avoid hiring external substitutes, which means students only encounter staff they have a relationship with.

We provide our students with extra movement that benefits their health and improves their ability to learn.
