About Us

Fagersta Municipality's vision is "We want to be the best at education." All students should develop based on knowledge goals and their own prerequisites. Welcome to work at a well-functioning primary school with experienced, engaged, and qualified teachers!

At Mariaskolan, we have approximately 55 employees and 300 students. The school has three work teams: preschool class, school-age education (fritidshem), grades 1-3, and grades 4-6. Each team has a team leader. The school is two-stream in all grades. The middle school has a subject-teacher system. The school's student health team consists of a special needs teacher, special educator, counselor, school nurse, deputy principal, and principal. Access to a school doctor and school psychologist is also available.

We work with systematic quality work in the form of "The Model." Developed evaluation tools and annual calendars have been created jointly in the municipality's primary schools.

Currently, competence development is ongoing in reading and writing development as well as a mathematics project. The municipality's schools have entered into a collaboration with Dalarna University, where schools deepen their work on the ongoing SKA project in the municipality. This will continue in the coming school year. We are also conducting extensive work regarding NPD (Neurodevelopmental Disorders) diagnoses to give all students good prerequisites.
