Literacy Week Fun!

This week the children in the primary school will be working on a publishing project for Literacy Week. Published illustrator Tania Goryushina read her book to the children in grades 1-2 and the 2nd graders wrote sequels to her book. The book is titled, "Why Nobody Strokes Hedgehogs," written by Andrey Kurkov and illustrated by Tania Goryushina. Now the children in grades 3-5 have chosen "jobs" in our publishing houses and will publish the 2nd graders' books. The jobs available to the children were: editors, cover, page and text illustrators, and media team (who will document and advertise the project).

At the beginning of last week the children had “job training” with Tania Goryushina (illustrators), Nancy Halén (editors) and Alison Levin (media team). On Thursday children met with their book teams for the first time and began work on their books. Each job is crucial to the success of the project, and the children are so excited to be working in mixed grade level groups on this!

Next week is Futuraskolan International School of Stockholm's Literacy Week!

Here are some events you should know about!

Word's from Tom Callahan, CEO

Good afternoon members of the Futuraskolan community,

I write to you today to relay the exciting news that we have an adjustment of leadership planned for the 2019-2020 school year.

One of our finest leaders, Ms Veronna Pomeroy, has graciously agreed to become the next Vice Principal of Futuraskolan International School of Stockholm.

Veronna’s competences are well known across the organization. I was personally fortunate enough to begin working with Veronna when she agreed to become my Student Care Manager after a successful run as the Vice Principal of Internationella Engelska Skolan Täby. It was during this time that I developed a profoundly deep appreciation for Veronna’s methods and manner, and I recommended her to become a Principal in our organization. Sadly for me, she assumed the role of Principal of Futuraskolan International Stockholm in 2018 and continued the excellent tradition set forth by her predecessor, Kevin Munro, helping keep Futuraskolan International Stockholm amongst the leading academic institutions in the Stockholm region.

And now Veronna will be taking her immense talents to our Futuraskolan International School of Stockholm.

Thank you Veronna for your outstanding work to date and we can’t wait to see what you achieve in your new role.

Sincerely,

Tom Callahan

Good day members of the Futuraskolan community,

It is with great pleasure and humility that I write you today to introduce to you our newest member of the Futuraskolan leadership team, Mr. Mike Saphir.

Mike made a name for himself in the greater Stockholm area as one of the initial members of the Internationella Engelska Skolan leadership team. As their Head of The Principals Development Group he was personally responsible for providing both direction and vision during the early stages of their organizational development.

In time Mike took his talents across town to the communal environment, cumulating is his present role as Principal of Ensklílda Gymnasium, one of Stockholm’s more prestigious academic institutions.

Mike was inspired by our International approach and by the planned development of our Global Citizenship Program. Having worked as both a school leader and as a member of Amnesty International we are thrilled to have Mike’s experience and expertise on board as we sail into the next phase of our evolution.

Mike will assume the role of Principal of Futuraskolan International Stockholm at the beginning of next school year when his term at Ensklílda Gymnasium is complete.

Please join me in extending a warm welcome to Mike. We are excited to have him on board as we continue our aim to be a key innovator in global education.

Have a great day and welcome Mike!!

Sincerely,

Tom Callahan

CEO - Futuraskolan AB
