DESCRIPTION OF THE SCHOOL
Scheeleskolan is an elementary school specializing in year 6-9, age 12-16. It is located in the western part of Köping,Västmanland.
The school is primarily known for welcoming students of all abilities and backgrounds. Our school is designed to meet the needs of each individual. A part from the compulsory education, the school offers special needs education for students with learning disabilities, education preparation classes and training-schools for students with special needs. Each individual student’s needs is also met within the compulsory education program where we are able to adapt the education to our student’s abilities.
The school also offers two highly sought after profiles, a sports profile and a nature and science profile.
The nature and science profile
The profile specializes in science subjects such as biology, chemistry, technology and physics. The school offers a special classroom which contains turtles, salamanders, gekkonidae, fish and walking-sticks. Students are given the opportunity to research nature, space and the environment as well as partaking in study tours and tour visits to research-stations and animal hospitals.
Recently the profile partook in a DNA-research project in collaboration with ResearchAid (ed.trans.) which is led by the Alfred Nobel Museum as well as in cooperation with Uppsala University, the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research and Affymetrix.
The students had to find biological samples of herring in their local environment. They retrieved and analysed the DNA and presented their findings in a scientific poster. Our poster can be found here.
The sports profile
The profile specializes in team sports and primarily different types of ball-sports. The focus is on fair-play and the development of the student’s personal leadership abilities as well as their organizational skills.
Recently the profile partook in a Comenius project with PE student’s from Finland, England and Germany where they created new sports together.
Apart from the schools ability to adapt the education to our students we are also in the forefront of ICT education. Since 2011 all students are given a tablet and the teachers have both a tablet and a laptop. Furthermore, the classrooms contain a variety of smart-boards and projectors.
Our school finds that education is enriched by a given personal responsibility and the ability to influence the school and the education through democratic manners. We offer an enriched curriculum that enables students to develop their social and employability skills which includes visits, competitions and clubs. We believe that through motivation and a good caring academic environment compulsory school education can become a memorable learning experience where everyone can excel.
