PRESCHOOL AT SISOG
Based on the Swedish national curriculum, our preschool for children ages 1-4 years old, balances learning and play, indoors and outdoors, and is tailored to the needs of each child.
Theme-based activities help the children make connections within and between different topics, and throughout the day. They are encouraged to be creative, curious, cooperative and mindful.
SISOG is a safe space, full of fun and familiarity, where we aim to make learning as joyful as possible.
One school, two bilingual streams.

SISOG offers a bilingual programs in both Swedish/French or English/French. Following the principle of ‘one teacher, one language,’ each group has two teachers who each speak only their native tongue, helping children to develop both languages.
Our young students acquire core linguistic and mathematical skills through a mixture of organised activities and free play designed to build their social abilities.

Gustav Vasa (1496-1560), also known as Gustav I, was the King of Sweden from 1523 until his death in 1560. He is credited with founding modern Sweden by ending the Kalmar Union, securing Swedish independence from Denmark, and establishing a hereditary monarchy. His reign marked significant political and religious reforms, including the introduction of Lutheran Protestantism, which diminished the power of the Catholic Church in Sweden.
🇬🇧 🇫🇷 1-2 years
For our youngest children, our main focus is on providing a caring environment where they feel safe and happy, and can naturally start to develop their foundational skills.
We have a dedicated sleep-room where your little one get his or her needed rest.
Your child’s health is also very important to us and all meals are planned with focus on the nutritional value needed for the children.
Every day we also spend time outdoors. This is not only to get fresh air but to help the children develop a sense of space, improve their gross motor skills and learn about the environment around them.

Svea is a mixed-age group for children aged 1 to 4, blending Swedish and French cultural influences. To offer a wide range of experiences and maximize each child’s development, children spend part of the day either in small age-based groups or all together.
In Svea, we celebrate Swedish culture through song, storytelling, and traditional festivities. Outdoor time is a big part of our daily routine, often paired with healthy snacks to keep the children energized.
Our goal is to help each child explore the world while fostering self-confidence and independence. We establish structured routines that encourage growth at a comfortable pace for each individual child. We provide support for cognitive, motor, and social development, always respecting each child’s unique age and abilities.
In our mixed-age environment, children gain valuable social experiences that teach foundational values like sharing, self-respect, and respect for others. These values align with our school’s core principles: Empathy, Community, Commitment, Love of Learning, and Equality.
