IES Värmdö is a newly started school with Kindergarten through grade 7 this academic year, with plans to grow up to grade 9 in the coming years with a total of 620 students. The school has an international focus where teaching is conducted in both English and Swedish. The school works to put learning and knowledge first. Students learn to take personal responsibility for their own development and work environment and to respect their schoolmates, teachers and themselves.

We are now looking for someone to work a 60% position at our school teaching both Art and Home Economics from grades 4 to 7 for remainder of this academic year; the position will be 100% for next academic year, so you should be prepared to increase your working time after the summer. The position involves planning and preparing for these lessons each week, as well as assessments, grading, and evaluation of the pedagogical work. As a member of the school's aesthetics department you will be able to work on a team doing not only cooperative planning but also focusing on moderated marking to ensure high integrity in grade setting. 

You will work in an international and stimulating environment where commitment, professionalism and the English language are common denominators. Academic expectations are high and we work in a school where good conditions for teaching and learning are established. 

This position requires commitment, responsibility and the ability to plan. It is merited if you have good knowledge of the Swedish curriculum and additional current governing documents.
