Caring teachers, principled students, engaged parents

Our Mission Statement

Vasa International School of Stockholm is a small, friendly, multicultural IB World School that strives to foster a challenging, internationally minded and inclusive environment for its students. Our vision is to acknowledge every student’s potential and build upon their strengths and interests in learning.

We aim to be caring and inspiring teachers, ambitious and principled students, and informed and engaged parents.

Our mission is to stimulate student voice, choice and curiosity through inquiry and encourage respectful relationships between all members of the school.

As a community, we constantly seek to empower all students to express themselves individually and collaboratively, preparing them for the challenges of the future and encouraging them to become lifelong learners and active global citizens.

Our Philosophy

As an IB World School, we are committed to the IB vision for the creation of a collaborative, diverse community united by a mission to make the world a better place through meaningful education.

At Vasa International School of Stockholm, we promote and develop the learning of different languages and the understanding of different cultures. Our students, their families and our staff are internationally minded and as a community we embrace and promote all of those different identities and cultures.

By aiming to instil the IB values into the hearts of all community members we encourage our students, teachers and parents to embrace the Learner Profile attributes and become inquirers, knowledgeable, thinkers, communicators, principled, open-minded, caring, courageous, balanced and reflective.

As a school, we promote collaboration, encourage learners to have an active role in their learning and we inspire each other to ask questions and learn through mindful inquiry.

We also value reflection as a means to deepen our understanding and to improve teaching and learning.

As an IB school, we recognise the importance of taking action as a means of connecting our learning to real-life situations and as a means to improve ourselves and the world around us.
