I'll be honest, the only thing that made this school good was my friends. The teachers were an extreme lottery - either they were great, or they were another level of awful. Certain teachers could be very petty or passive-aggressive, but especially the science and English teachers were very charismatic and helpful. The teachers don't communicate with each other, though, and there would often be 4 or 5 assignments all due on the same day and just generally a constant load of schoolwork. There is also a very competitive atmosphere, and a grade 6 is seen by most students as terrible (even though it's nowhere near bad), and the arts are given absolutely no importance with no option to be creative and learn new techniques. Absolutely nothing is done about student bullying, and some of the teachers honestly felt like bullies themselves. It just feels like they don't care very much about the students tbh.

It's alright I would say, definitely not great, the food isn't very good and some of the teachers aren't great.

Unarguably the best school in Stockholm. Except for the food, but I'd take that trade for the education and teachers you get there
