Every year, as part of our quality control measures, we ask our staff, students and parents to take an anonymous questionnaire about their school. Here is a sample of what they said in 2007:

“Tell everyone that it is great here! I love this school! Speaking English, having teachers who care - nothing can beat that.”
IES Student, Eskilstuna

“The working environment and the atmosphere among the students and the staff is nice, calm and positive.”
IES Teacher, Gävle

“Our principal and vice principal make me feel trusted, supported and they show an openness to my ideas.”
IES Teacher, Järfälla

“I like the motivated students, the professional attitude… people who go the extra mile.”
IES Teacher, Linköping

“The reason that my daughter goes to IES is that she had heard the reputation and applied on her own initiative.”
IES Parent, Täby

“I like the food, the teachers (who are funny and good), the peace and the quiet so I can concentrate on my work.”
IES Student, Bromma

“I like that the school is clean, that there’s no graffiti or chewing gum anywhere. I like the lessons and the school food.”
IES Student, Täby

“I like the way teachers have been given authority and anything unacceptable going on amongst the students are dealt with immediately.”
IES Teacher, Järfälla

“The best thing about our school is that the teachers are open-minded, happy, always helpful and really funny.”
IES Student, Örebro

“I like the flexibility with the curriculum and also with the schedule for special activities to take place.”

“The best thing about our school is that you can focus on the teaching; the students are calmer as a result of the way everyone works to uphold the school rules.”
IES Teacher, Enskede

“The system where there is a mentor for every student seems to work very well. Our daughter gets support when needed.”
IES Parent, Eskilstuna
