Primary Teacher Grades 1-6 with Qualification in Physical Education and Spanish, 60%

Our vision

Västerhaninge Montessoriskola should be the obvious choice for students and staff, as well as a pedagogical role model for other schools. We aim to be a school where all students are seen, feel safe, and have a desire for knowledge and learning, and achieve their goals.

We are a small school located in central Västerhaninge with proximity to commuter trains and buses.

Knowledge, well-being, and safety

Västerhaninge Montessoriskola Ugglan is a Montessori-inspired school run by a parent cooperative since 1996. Here, everyone knows each other—both children and adults—and we strive for a calm, respectful, and stimulating school environment where each child can grow at their own pace.

At Ugglan, we work based on Maria Montessori's ideas that children want to, can, and have an inherent desire to learn. Each child is unique and has the right to develop on their own terms. At Ugglan, children get to take part in the responsibility for their learning by actively participating in planning and evaluation. Freedom to choose activities and the opportunity to work undisturbed at their own pace are two of the most important conditions in the pedagogy. This provides peace to work and makes learning more enjoyable.

Ugglan is a small school with a strong focus on knowledge and safety. Our staff consists of educators who appreciate working together with students and guardians to create the best education. During joint activities, students socialize across age groups, and we believe that through a strong sense of community and an environment where all staff see every child, we help our students develop as far as possible based on their own conditions. Here, children get to be children a little longer.

The atmosphere is familial, and we all work together for the students' knowledge development, social development, safety, and well-being.
