Special Educator with Focus on Language at Södervångskolan, Vellinge

Södervångskolan is located in the urban area of Vellinge, surrounded by green environments and offering excellent commuting options by car (free parking), as well as by bus or bicycle.

Södervång's operations include a preschool and a two-stream (except for two grades) F-9 school with after-school care activities for students in grades F-6. The after-school care is of great importance for our students' sense of security, development, and learning. Our school is characterized by a positive climate. Here, you will meet dedicated, creative, and professional colleagues, as well as wonderful children and young people.

A distinctive feature of our school is that some students in grades 4-9 attend a music class, open to students from across the municipality. We are also proud of our successful school sports association, where younger students are activated under the guidance of high school students, as well as our health initiative involving "Puls-pass" two mornings a week, in addition to the two regular physical education lessons.
