Språkskolan

Språkskolan is an economic association run by 11 dedicated employees whose policy has always been that any surplus is reinvested in the association. Språkskolan has a unique pedagogy where the child is in focus. We currently have 6 preschool departments and a complete primary school with grades F-9 in Umeå. Språkskolan started out as one preschool department in Umeå in 1995 under the name "Umeå nya förskola". It started as an economic association founded by two preschool teachers with the hope of positively influencing the children's development and with that their future. The main reason why the preschool focused on languages was that several studies showed that children's brains are amazing, they can learn any number of languages. Another reason was that many children graduated compulsory school without being able to read or write. Language stimulation improves the childrens memory, stimulates their learning ability and prevents difficulties with reading and writing. "The best part is that all teachers listen to you and everyone gets the help they need. All the pupils respect each other.
