Hermods Gymnasium is a new quality school in Stockholm City. We combine high expectations and traditional values with a strong school spirit, and focus on the well-being of the individual in a modern environment. The school has been developed together with young students at Stockholm School of Economics (Handelshögskolan).
We believe that the key to quality in education is good teachers with excellent leadership capabilities. The success of a school does not lie so much in its choice of method or technology, but in the quality of its teaching. Apart from teaching, we strongly believe in the importance of extracurricular activities, cultural events and social involvement.
Hermods Gymnasium offers ten programmes, of which one is the prestigious International Baccalaureate, taught in English and recognized by Universities globally.
Other features worth mentioning are:
Mental Skills Training
Success depends very much on the mind-set. Motivation, self-confidence, stress management and ability to focus are important factors that can be trained, and result not only in enhanced performance but also in increased well-being. Mental skills training has been used by elite athletes for centuries, and their methods can be applied to any area of life.
Half-day Schedule
Through efficient scheduling it is possible to reduce the school days to four hours, and still provide the same number of teacher-led lessons as any other school. Our pupils attend lessons between approximately 8-12 or 13-17, and change between morning and afternoon lessons every other week.
Personal Lap-top
Each pupil at Hermods Gymnasium borrows a personal lap-top from the school.
Restaurant lunch
Lunch is served daily at selected restaurants in the vicinity of the school.
Concentrated Studies
Pupils at Hermods Gymnasium focus on a set of subjects at a time, which means they get more time in each subject per week.
Home-rooms
Each class have most of their lessons in the same classroom. Change of subject normally means change of teacher, not of room.
