Frequently asked questions

School choice implies that you, as a parent or student, have both the right and the freedom to choose the school that best meets the individual needs and preferences of the student, regardless of the school’s location.

Vittra is a free primary school. For preschool, we apply a fee according to the municipality’s maximum rate. Read more about it on your municipality’s website.

We are an independent school owned by AcadeMedia, northern Europe’s largest education provider. In total, AcadeMedia runs just over 140 upper secondary schools in Sweden.

What is a free school?

A free school is run by an owner other than a municipality or a county council. All of AcadeMedia’s free schools are completely free of charge. Everyone has the opportunity to apply for a free school, regardless of where they are registered. Application and admission of students takes place in the same way as at a municipal school. The free school has the same rights and obligations as other schools, which means, for example, that they, among other things, follow the Education Act when it comes to grading.

The timetable can be found in SchoolSoft.

When you have accepted your place, you will receive a welcome letter with all the information.

The first day of school varies and the induction itself usually takes two weeks, but is individual. If your child has attended preschool before, the induction is usually one week. The first three induction days, you as a parent, are there the whole day between 9.00–14.00 and then we want one of the parents to be on standby during the whole two-week induction period.

If you have applied via a municipality, you will receive an answer after the school selection has closed, the dates vary slightly depending on which municipality you live in. But somewhere between March and April, you will be notified about admission for the coming autumn. If you have applied directly to us, we will send an offer when we have places to offer. When the intake takes place depends on when and how the places become available, but in all cases we use our numerical waiting list.

At Vittra, we use the following selection criteria:

• Organisational connection

Students who are already attending a school unit are offered priority at a nearby unit. We accept students in numerical order according to the registration date.

• Sibling preference

Children with siblings who go to the same school at the time of admission are given preference subject to availability. This applies to children who apply for preschool class or years 1–9 and the other sibling must attend the school applied for in the coming school year and be registered at the same address as the applicant sibling. Here we also accept students in numerical order according to the registration date.

• Registration date

The child who has been on the waiting list the longest is offered a place first.

If you have made an application to the school, your child has been given a place on the waiting list. If you are offered a place, you will be contacted and must confirm within a certain time.

If you have made an application to the school and you have received a confirmation by landing on our ”thank you for your registration” page, the registration has gone through and your child is on our waiting list.

Unfortunately, we cannot respond to specific cases, as it depends on how many people say yes to their offered spot and how many children are admitted to each class. Contact the administrator at the school for more information.
