Located at the heart of the deep forests of Värmland is Sweden’s most distinguished boarding school Lundsbergs Skola. It prides itself on tradition but also embraces the latest technology to give students the best possible education.

“We are a true boarding school with excellent teachers who give our students every possibility to succeed with their studies,” Eva Lilliehöök-Hörnberg, Marketing Director at Lundsbergs Skola says. Cutting-edge technology is used on a daily basis: all classrooms have Smart boards, multi-functional electronic versions of black boards that can be used to access the internet, show film clips and to write on. “And we use the database software School Soft, which allows parents to follow their children’s progress from anywhere in the world,” Lilliehöök-Hörnberg continues.

The numerous sports on offer are also a central part of Lundsbergs Skola. Sports competitions between the student houses run throughout the year. Extra-curricular activities include music and arts. “As students live, work and play together, friendships for life are formed and the students build an incredible network during their years at Lundsberg,” Lilliehöök-Hörnberg says.

Many international Swedes choose Lundsbergs Skola to give their children stability and a Swedish education. Currently 30 students have families who live abroad. Students between the ages of 13 and 19 are welcome.
