About the School

Sjöparksskolan is Gällivare Municipality's only municipal upper secondary school located in the town center, situated next to Sjöparken and Isborgen, the municipality's ice arena.

The school has approximately 410 students and 55 staff members. The school has recently been renovated to meet the requirements of an upper secondary school and features a modern design. The school works actively to create good learning environments, promote collegial learning, and develop sustainable structures to prepare students for the future. The unit has school nurses and school counselors on site. Additionally, there are special needs educators, social pedagogues, study and career counselors, and two key pedagogues working to develop the school's digital competence. A caretaker is available to cover short-term absences. Lead teachers work on subject development. The school is divided into three work teams, each led by a team leader. New and unqualified staff are mentored by experienced and qualified colleagues, both during induction and in daily teaching work. The school offers opportunities for students with special needs to work in smaller teaching groups, and a preparatory class for newly arrived students is available.
