Nordic International School is a growing school chain with an international profile, offering bilingual instruction in Swedish and English. We believe that order and discipline as well as teacher-led instruction are essential to ensure a learning environment in which pupils thrive. Our aim is to provide an education that is grounded in rigorous research, which we use to develop our strategy and policies. Our first school was founded in Norrköping in 2017, followed by a second school in Karlstad in 2018 and a third in Trollhättan 2019. In August 2020, we will start a new school in Kalmar.

In Trollhättan we will expand with 4 new classes from August 2020 and we are now looking for qualified teachers who are willing to take on the challenging task of supporting the headteacher and staff to this. Apart from providing continuous professional development and academic exchanges between our schools, we offer an exciting opportunity to create and be part of something new.
