The secondary school has approximately 500 students distributed across 6 work teams. The work teams are responsible for clearly defined student groups. We offer three unique profiles: culture, sports and health, and maker space. In close collaboration with the Municipal School of Music and Drama, we work across subject boundaries, allowing visual arts, music, and theater to contribute to all students' learning when working on cross-disciplinary thematic areas.

Since the 2015/2016 academic year, Olaus Petriskolan has been a Training School, a collaboration with the teacher education program at Örebro University.
