This is a role for you who wants to make a real difference – both for the individual student and for the development of the school of the future. You will have significant authority, the opportunity to influence, and a role in a operation that is at the forefront nationally.

Palmbladsskolan Distans is an integrated part of Palmbladsskolan and constitutes a specialized operation focused on offering distance education as special support. We work to create accessible, flexible, and individualized solutions for students who cannot participate in regular teaching.

The operation has a total of 90 student places, of which 60 places are intended for students from Uppsala Municipality schools and 30 places for inter-municipal students as well as students from independent sponsors.

Palmbladsskolan Distans was one of the first units in Sweden to establish this form of support through structured distance education within the framework of special support. This pioneering work still characterizes our operation, where we continuously develop methods and approaches to meet each student's unique prerequisites.

We are now entering our third year of operation, with a stable foundation to build upon and a clear ambition to continue staying at the forefront in this area. Through close collaboration with the student health services, educators, and school leadership of the home schools, we ensure high quality in both teaching and support measures.
