Östersund is the experience metropolis in the heart of nature, with mountains nearby and world-class events.

Östersund is exciting right now, and you are welcome to grow with us.

Storvikenskolan in Brunflo is located approximately two miles outside of Östersund, in a pleasant setting with sports facilities, a swimming pool, and beautiful forest areas near the school. The school currently has approximately 100 students in age-homogeneous classes in grades Pre-K to 3 (F-3).

We constantly work to develop learning for students and staff in the after-school program through planned free play and guided activities to achieve goals and central content in the Curriculum.

Great importance is placed on developing students' social skills so that they can take responsibility for themselves and others.
