With the help of an accessible learning environment, we ensure that all students have a positive learning experience and have the opportunity to reach their full potential. In the classrooms, there is access to interactive boards and tablets. All tablets are equipped with programs available in Skolon, the municipality's common digital platform.

The school's well-established traditions are part of the sense of security that exists in the school. We strive to make our outdoor environment appealing. We believe in active recess where students and staff have the opportunity to socialize in different ways, where playfulness and creativity are central. We participate in the well-being program, which is a program for activity and inclusion, where friendly and respectful well-being leaders in grades 3–6 create opportunities for increased activity during recess.
