The International School of Älmhult
Plans are moving ahead as the council is looking at the possibility for moving The International School of Älmhult into the Haganäs School premises in August 2011. The architect's drawings can be viewed at present at an exhibition at Haganäs School. A move to Haganäs entails the possibility to offer after-school-care at the school, as well as being able to open a pre-school for 1-3 year-olds. At present the pre-school starting-age is 4. The school is run by the local Board of Education and is open to international families living in the area on a temporary basis.The criteria for admission is: - Pupils in international families moving to Älmhult and staying for a limited time.
- Pupils in families moving to Älmhult or the region who have attended an International School abroad for a major part of their eduacation and therefore have a reason to complete his/her education in an International School.
- Pupils living permanently in Älmhult or the region who in the near future will continue their education in an International School abroad. (Pupils need, by law, to be able to speak enough English to follow the lessons . This is not a criteria for pupils starting the pre-school.)

We are now changing our name this autumn 2009 from The English School to The International School of Älmhult. Meet the world
At the International School of Älmhult, we are encouraging our students to become international individuals. This means that broad-mindedness is our educational platform. It means an internationally based curriculum and a multi-cultural environment. It also means that all our teaching is done in English.Join the family
We believe that a low teacher-to-student ratio is one of the most critical elements of a quality education. That is why we keep our classes small. The result is a friendly and learning enriched environment for all our students.Most lessons are held in a renovated school building close to the centre of Älmhult. There are recreational areas just around the corner, and most work places are only a few minutes walk away.
The school enjoys the use of additional facilities in a nearby school where classes such as science, music and physical education take place.
The school employs a staff of fully trained teachers with international experience. All the teachers working with implementing the programmes of learning within the school have attended official IBO workshops.
The local education authorities and IKEA sponsor the school.
