Kunskapsskolan

"Kunskap" means learning or knowledge in Swedish

Students develop ownership of their learning by being allowed to have an influence over their time, progress and workplace in school. The purpose is to stimulate each person's motivation to learn and get more out of the time spent by students and teachers in school. How does it work? In "Why we choose Kunskap", Kunskapsskolan examines its own belief - that all people are different, even in school, and get to learn at their own pace and in different ways.
