Physical Education Teacher Years 6-9 Sought for Fria Emilia in Boden

Are you our new physical education teacher?

School Fria Emilia

Fria Emilia is an independent, non-profit, non-public primary school F-9 in Boden. We approach our students with a mindset inspired by Reggio Emilia's thoughts on participation and exploration. We work based on a view of students as rich and competent, bearers of differences that enrich. Our school has been operating since 2004, and in the academic year 26/27, 260 students attend and we have 48 employees.

The school is located at Intendenturvägen 11 b, in the upper part of Boden. It is close to the bus stop with good bus connections to the school. This makes our school accessible whether you live in town or in the villages. We have close access to nature and the fine ski trails in Pagla. We are proud of our schoolyard, which was planned together with a landscape architect to promote joy of movement for our students. The schoolyard also has a school forest where teaching can take place.

Our nice premises are divided into three floors, each with a square. Creating meetings and good relationships is important to us. The same educators remain in the building throughout the school years, and substitute teachers are known to the students. As staff, we aim to know all students' names from grades F-9. We want all children to be seen and differences to be viewed as an asset. This creates security for both parents and students. Our Bistro serves two courses plus a salad buffet every day. One dish is always vegetarian, and everything is prepared in our own kitchen. In addition to the well-prepared food, the school offers fruit every day.

At Fria Emilia, we want students to experience their time at school as a whole and develop a long-term view of learning. Learning in different ways, together with the students, is central. Our students learn for the future and graduate from primary school with good results.

We have positive expectations for both our students and our staff, where we support and challenge each other. We see the school as a place where adults want to learn and develop together with the students. Fria Emilia should be a place to look forward to: a school that opens doors.

With that said, we hope that you want to become an important piece of the puzzle in our team!
