Information in English

The Ellwynska School is a small, charming upper secondary school where contemporary style meets early twentieth-century elegance. Some 160 students study the Health Care Programme here, and we have a further 120 mature students who study a variety of short and longer courses.
 
Integration with working life is a cornerstone of the programme, and our students spend a significant part of their time with us getting practical experience in a workplace. After having completed studies at the Health Care Programme, students can either proceed to university or start a career within the field. Careers within the care and health care sectors which have the Health Care Programme as their base include nursing, physiotherapy, law enforcement, the emergency services and teaching.
 
We aim to prepare our students well for working life and higher education, contributing to their personal development and encouraging students to take responsibility for their own work. In order to achieve this, studies are adapted to the student’s own experiences, possibilities and areas of interest, and all students are given the opportunity of gaining teaching experience. It is important to us that our students experience a good working environment, receive individual care and guidance and that they have the opportunity to influence their studies.

The staff and students at the Ellwynska school are actively engaged in projects with partner schools in Norway and Italy, and are constantly looking for other schools with which we can interact. Our aim is to work together, grow together, exchange ideas and experiences and possibly engage in future student and/or teacher exchanges. The school has a distinct and recognisable identity, and our teachers convey sound knowledge of their subject matter through a democratic approach. Teachers possess considerable pedagogical and social skills, and a personal interest in the students and their development.
