This was posted on our main organization website and I wanted to share it with our viewers in Karlstad.
IES publishes grade statistics
Dear all,
IES publishes grade statistics on our website for all our year 9 students.
High academic expectations is one of Internationella Engelska Skolan’s three main convictions, and we are proud of the work that our teachers and students accomplish during the year. We work with a comprehensive systematic quality model to ensure that we set fair and accurate grades and take a firm stance to counter grade inflation.
Transparent and comparable quality information is important in order for school choice to be successful.
IES publishes this independently because the National Agency for Education (Skolverket) has come to the conclusion that they no longer can publish this based on a ruling from the Administrative Court (Kammarrätten). IES welcomes that the government has initiated a process to change the current legislation so the statistics can be published by the authorities once again.

Morning full of flowers
I want to thank everyone who took the time to bring me flowers in the morning while having my parking lot duty. It is always a pleasure welcoming everyone, so this was truly a pleasant surprise. Thank you!
Great success with Rynkeby Run
Our year 4 and 5 students ran the 'Rynkeby Run' this week. The idea is that kids run a number of laps and try to get sponsors to donate for every lap to the Children's Cancer Foundation. 1 lap 'varv' is 300 meters for our school yard. The students ran for 45 minutes.
A big thanks to Ms. Wennergrund who organized everything. All the students did great.
Here are the results
4a 584 varv 5a 700 varv
4b 527 varv 5b 513 varv
4c 477 varv 5c 510 varv
4d 632 varv 5d 658 varv
Totalt : 2220 varv Totalt: 2381 varv
Tillsammans sprang klasserna 4601 varv (1380 km) Fantastic job!
