Södervärnskolan is an elementary school in southern Visby serving students in grades 4-9. The school currently has approximately 620 students, with 150 in grades 4-6 and the remainder in grades 7-9. The school also has an after-school program.
Södervärnskolan actively works to establish a strong learning environment by creating positive relationships so that students feel comfortable and secure. Teaching is based on individual student needs and abilities, developed within a group setting, resulting in strong collaboration skills and social competence.
For students to learn effectively, teachers must identify the next steps in their development. This gives students a target to work toward and clear understanding of how to reach it. Students should leave school as knowledge-seekers and critically thinking individuals with strong self-confidence, humanistic values, and engagement.
The school uses computers as digital tools and Unikum is the learning platform.
The school has a librarian, café, and social educators to provide extra security for students. A counselor and school nurse are on site daily.
Södervärnskolan has an excellent gymnasium and dedicated spaces for home economics and crafts. The school features an on-site kitchen with excellent meals and a newly renovated school library integrated with the café.
