End of the Year

The end of year is fast approaching and, with that in mind, we would like to share an invitation to our annual avslutning ceremony on Thursday June 13.

The ceremony will be held at Maxim Theatre/Maximteatern (Karlaplan 4, 114 60, Stockholm). The doors will open at 9:00am for the Bilingual School show and 10:15am for the International School show with the show starting promptly at 10:30am.

Students are welcome to arrive at Karlaplan by 10:00am with their parents OR to come to school at regular time, 8:30am. Teachers, staff, and students in attendance will be leaving school at 9:45am to travel to Maxim Theatre together.

There will be NO FRITIDS available before or after the Avslutning.

Please look to class newsletters or contact your child's mentor teacher for more information.

We hope to see you there!

Kind wishes for a lovely weekend.

Thank you for making my time at Futuraskolan so meaningful!

"Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving." ~Albert Einstein

This quote from Albert Einstein really resonates with me in so many ways. Most of you who know me know that I can't sit or stand still for more than a few minutes. This trait is also present in my constant search and curiosity for new opportunities that challenge and push me to be a better educator, leader, learner, mother, wife, community member - person. I thrive on new experiences, challenges, adventures and life changes! With each new experience I get to practice a "beginner's mind"- having an attitude of openness, eagerness and lack of preconceptions when approaching a new task or subject, just as a beginner would.

I would like to think that Einstein would agree that even worse than falling over would be staying completely still!

I can say with confidence that the move to Jerusalem American International School will be challenging and full of uncertainty. BUT, that is what will make the experience so exciting!

I will miss Futuraskolan and Stockholm immensely. Shockingly, Stockholm is the longest place I have ever lived in my life as it has been nearly a total of 10 years here!

The international school world is small and I hope our paths will cross again in the very near future.

Have a wonderful Summer Break!

The mission of the MUN (mock UN) Conference is to give delegates the training and experience which resembles a true UN debate in a diplomatic and safe environment at Futuraskolan.

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

CEO - Futuraskolan AB

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
