Dear Futuraskolan International School Community,
June 2025
Welcome Back to an Exciting New School Year!
Dear Futuraskolan Community,
As we step into another academic year at Futuraskolan International School of Stockholm, I am thrilled to welcome both new and returning members of our community. We’re gearing up for a year full of exciting challenges, opportunities, and growth that we will great with progressiveness, energy, and respect.
I hope everyone is ready to embark on this wonderful journey with us!
New Faces, New Beginnings
We are delighted to introduce some fantastic additions to our team, who are eager to contribute their talents and passion to our school community.
- Grade 1A: We’re excited to announce that Mrs. Martha Anthidou will transition into teaching Grade 1. Martha is a highly skilled, creative, and compassionate educator who will undoubtedly inspire and nurture our youngest learners.
- Grade 2: We are pleased to welcome Ms. Hazuki Okamoto, who will be joining us to cover Ms. Katie Rulapuagh Moledo’s parental leave. Hazuki is a qualified teacher with a wealth of experience, and we’re excited to have her supporting our Grade 2 students.
- MFL French and Grade 6 English: We are thrilled to welcome Mr. Borhane Degaichia as our new MFL French teacher. Borhane comes to us with a sense of energy and creativity, and we’re excited to see how he will inspire our learners.
IPC & IMYC Re-Accreditation
This year is particularly special as we continue on our second re-accreditation for the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) and the International Middle Years Curriculum (IMYC). This process is vital for reaffirming our commitment to providing a well-rounded education that emphasizes not just academic success, but also personal growth. The Accreditation is ongoing, but our final visit will take place November 19 and 20.
Our focus remains on nurturing students who are adaptable, empathetic, and resilient—qualities that are more important than ever in today’s world. We are excited to continue this journey of growth, ensuring our students develop as confident communicators, ethical thinkers, and collaborative problem-solvers.
We will be inviting our parent community to get involved and support us throughout this process. Your volunteer efforts, wherever possible, are incredibly valuable and meaningful to us.
Guiding Values: Progressiveness, Energy, Respect (PER)
As we move forward this year, we will continue to uphold our core values of Progressiveness, Energy, and Respect. These values will guide every aspect of our learning and school culture:
- Progressiveness will drive us to embrace innovative teaching methods, new technologies, and creative approaches to learning.
- Energy will infuse our school environment with excitement, collaboration, and opportunities for everyone to shine.
- Respect will remain the foundation of our community, ensuring that every individual is heard, valued, and supported.
Get Involved!
We encourage all families to stay engaged and involved throughout the year. Join our PTA meetings, volunteer at school events, or simply reach out with ideas and questions. It’s this spirit of collaboration that makes Futuraskolan such a special place for both learners and staff.
Thank you for being part of the Futuraskolan International School family. Here’s to a year filled with growth, exploration, and unforgettable memories!
Warm regards,
Nicole MacDonald
Principal
