The School takes its name from a defining chapter of Swedish history – the Vasa period – during which elements of the Swedish state were established under King Gustav Vasa, or Gustav I, (1523-1560). During his reign, Protestantism was introduced in Sweden, and the monarchy acquired the church’s once considerable power and wealth.
In 1544, Sweden became a const-itutional monarchy and the House of Vasa was established. Gustav I has been described as the founder of modern Sweden, and even “father of the nation”.
In 1995, Rita Ahonen and I opened the School with years one to six and after-school activities. Believing that we had a great deal more to offer the Swedish school system, we set up the Docendo Discimus foundation in 1997 with the aim of establishing the best school in Sweden.
We were qualified teachers from Estonia, and we were convinced that we could combine the best from the Estonian and Swedish school systems, and give the concept an international feel – we learnt from other school systems to then craft something unique.
The Vasa International School of Stockholm is an International Baccalaureate, (IB), World School that provides an inspirational, multicultural education at the heart of Stockholm.
The School creates challenging and inclusive learning experiences with highly competent staff that encourage pupils to reflect, inquire and take action.
This enables pupils to experience new situations with curiosity and confi-dence, and inspires them to become engaged, life-long learners who consider themselves global citizens in a multi-cultural and ever-changing world.
