Now is the chance to be part of our school's development journey. Västerfärnebo School is a small school where we work closely together. You will have great opportunities to influence and contribute to the school's development. We welcome ideas, creativity, and new thinking. The school is located in a beautiful natural setting, 2 miles west of Sala, and we have approximately 100 students from preschool class to grade 6. Adjacent to the school, there is also an after-school center and a large schoolyard that invites to activities and movement.
