A word from our teachers

Our pedagogy is based on four pillars

1. An interaction between LGR 22 and IB

We follow the Swedish National Curriculum LGR 22 and we have also adopted the IB (International Baccalaureate) framework. IB’s pedagogy is based on research and aims to develop critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration, communication and innovation skills.

Dibber International schools is an authorized PYP school and is in the process of implementing the MYP. These are schools that share a common philosophy—a commitment to high quality, challenging, international education that DISS believes is important for our students.

*Only schools authorized by the IB Organization can offer any of its four academic programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP), the Diploma Programme, or the Career-related Programme (CP). Candidate status gives no guarantee that authorization will be granted. For further information about the IB and its programmes, visit http://www.ibo.org.
For further detail please refer to the Rules for use of IB Intellectual Property.

2. Bilingualism

We teach in both English and Swedish. When we introduce English, it happens gradually and at a pace that suits the students. Swedish has a prominent place with us in all subjects, we train the students to switch between the languages. Students can then choose whether they want to continue their higher studies in Swedish or English, in Sweden or at an IB school abroad.

3. Academic and aesthetic subjects

We have a holistic view of people. When a child’s creativity and fine motor skills interact, the child’s desire, participation, perseverance, concentration excels. Due to this, the academic and aesthetic learning processes support each other. Take a closer look at your local school how they work with the aesthetic subjects and if they have increased teaching and learning to promote the aesthetic subjects.

4. Technology and innovation

Dibber International School wants to make students ready for the future, hence we place importance on innovation and digital technology. Technology should contribute to improving society. We are facing major global issues which will need to be resolved which makes digital literacy and innovative thinking skills critical for our children. This places utmost importance on our ability to provide all students with sound tech skills.
