The Red Thread:
Connecting It All

At SISOG, we embrace the "Swedish Red Thread." This concept, known in Sweden as the "röd tråd" (red thread), symbolizes the guiding line or common theme that runs through a story, project, or even our lives. Much like the plot of a good story, this red thread helps us explain how everything is connected.

Inspired by ancient Greek mythology, this idea guides everyone at SISOG in creating a enchanting theme through all our activities. From drawing and cooking in preschool to math and art in primary, every activity is linked, fostering your child's growth and development through these magical connections.

Arrange a tour of SISOG at a time good for you.

We welcome families throughout the year, offering tailored in-person or virtual tours on a day that suits you, including school holidays.
