Schools in Sweden

We visited a school in Sweden. The Trädgårdsstadsskolals started in 2002, is a very wonderful school. We were shown around the school and given a talk about the school by the Deputy head of the school. He told us that there is different syllabus in higher education. It is a bit of traditional and quite different. He also said that their school tries honestly to aim for a new kind of education. I was surprised to see that the classes there have wide glass doors and windows. The Deputy head explained that it was so for that the Head could see what is going all in all classing by taking a round around. He can have an insight into how lessons are taken in class. The deputy Head also appreciated the founder of the school and said that she wanted teachers teaching on her terms. He said that though other schools might have long legacy and traditions, this school had a lot of concern for their students. Like almost all Swedish schools, students get lunch in the school. In this school, all subjects are mixed into one and called as 'Projekt'. Students are given tasks to solve by applying knowledge of various subjects taught in school. There is also na subject called 'Life Knowledge' which is taught in school. They have I to IX grades in the school. The school even has subjects like carpentry, music, painting etc for students.
