It’s about the children

We are a special public school for students with permanent functional impairments and a need for special frameworks to support their learning, development and well-being.

We are a school with a pedagogical and professional environment where staff and management think differently and broadly about the students' learning. We work on developing each student's Lerningspotential based on their competencies and prerequisites.

Our core task: We create safety, well-being and development, so that each student gets the best conditions for

to succeed academically, socially and personally – in school and in life

We are about 156 students and 155 staff and you will become part of a cross-disciplinary environment where we collaborate on the students’ learning, well-being and personal mastery in Professional Learning Communities.

Get in safely from the start

At Lundagerskolen we work with children and young people who can display outward behavior – also towards staff. We take this seriously. Therefore we have clear procedures and joint agreements for how we handle situations where a student is challenged or acts out. You should feel safe in your work and know that you are never alone.

We have a strong focus on Low Arousal and occupational psychology, and we provide you from the start with concrete methods and tools to understand and handle challenging situations, even if you have no prior experience.

Whether you are newly graduated or an experienced educator we offer

• Has an understanding of the students' challenges and is able to stay calm when they show signs of distress and frustration.
• Can participate in personal care of students who need it.
