Lower and middle school teacher with focus on after-school care

How exciting that you are interested in working at our school!

The ERK Foundation, which is an independent principal for the Swedish-Finnish school with grades F-6 and the preschool Pikku-Erkki, was founded in 1993. The operations are bilingual and non-profit.

Both operations are conducted at Vasbergsgatan 5 in Eskilstuna, a beautiful, centrally located, historic old school building. Together, there are approximately 110 children enrolled in the operations (preschool and school) and about 25 staff. The foundation's task is to preserve and develop the Swedish-Finnish culture together with a high level in both the Swedish and Finnish languages. The goal is to teach the children and students Finnish and Swedish at a level that enables active bilingualism and supports their Swedish-Finnish identity development.

We are now seeking: Swedish/Mathematics in lower grades (10h) and Social Studies in middle grades (3h) and responsibility for after-school care with skilled colleagues.
