Establishing the foundations of knowledge for the past and upcoming generations in this era is not an easy task. IES Eskilstuna has succeeded in developing another generation of students prepared to face the challenges of their futures. Generation 2017/2018, congratulations.

Dear Parents/Guardians and students,
As this academic year begins, we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support as we work together to make IES Eskilstuna one of the best schools in the region. We are striving to make this school a school of which the community can be proud; a school where students’ command of English is on a respectable high level; a school enforcing a safe and orderly environment where teachers can teach and students can learn and most importantly a school that sets high academic expectations and aspirations on their students.
We wish you a successful and fun academic year!
During Weeks 19 and 20, teachers were asked to choose a lesson or break to pick up trash around the schoolyard or close neighbourhood with their mentor class. It was lovely to see everyone out with their classes helping to tidy up our neighbourhood. We also encouraged our students to reflect, and come up with creative tips for reducing litter (trash on the ground). Thank you so much for your participation!
We will now take part in a larger national contest by "Håll Sverige Rent" ("Keep Sweden Tidy") where the trash will be counted and also sorted.
Winter Sports Day, a day the IES students and staff enjoyed the many activities organised by IES Eskilstuna. Enjoy this short video recap of some of those activities: basketball, ice hockey, football, dancing, floor ball, and many others but most importantly enjoy the happy faces, friendships, and joy all captured in this video.
Hampus von Post and Filip Dilmer in 7E have created a computer game about the life as a student at IES Eskilstuna Sr. When playing the game you are walking around in our school facilities, shown in 3D, and will be able to explore the school, doing good things and earn "Apple awards" and also doing things against our school rules, leading to a behaviour notice. There are lots of secrets to find.
Children should learn to command the English language, not just know it, at an early age.
Order, structure and safety are necessary prerequisites for learning.
Our conviction is that every child can achieve success irrespective of social background.
