Kunskapsskolan in Helsingborg

Kunskapsskolan (translates as "the knowledge school") is a Swedish group of independent schools for students from grades 4–9 (ages 10–16) in elementary school. Some of the Swedish schools also include gymnasium schools for grades 10–12 (ages 16–19).

About[edit]

All Kunskapsskolan schools are built by architect Kenneth Gärdestad, brother of the Swedish pop singer Ted Gärdestad.[1] The architecture is open, with glass and colourfully painted walls.

Kunskapsskolan worldwide[edit]

There are a total of 80 Kunskapsskolan schools ("kunskapsskolor") in operation around the world. 36 of them are located in Sweden.[2]

United Kingdom[edit]

In the UK Kunskapsskolan sponsored three academies through the Learning Schools Trust, which operated four academy schools in England. It operated Hampton Academy[3] and Twickenham Academy[4] in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, Elizabeth Woodville SchoolinNorthampton, and Ipswich Academy in Suffolk. In March 2014 the trust was banned from taking on new schools,[5] and in September 2016, it ceased operation.[6]

India[edit]

CEO of Kunskapsskolan India is Sunitha Nambiar. Kunskapsskolan operates two schools in Gurgaon, Haryana, one in Lucknow and another in Bengaluru under Kunskapsskolan Eduventures[7] – a joint venture between Kunskapsskolan Education and Gyandarshan Eduventures.[8] Kunskapsskolan Gurgaon[9] follows the CBSE Curriculum for classes Nursery to Grade XI and became operational in 2013.

United States[edit]

Kunskapsskolan Education has an ongoing partnership with the American charter school organization, the Great Oaks Foundation, which operated a KED-sponsored school in Manhattan, New York City.[10][11] The State College of Florida Collegiate School is a KED school that operates in Bradenton, Florida.[12]

Netherlands[edit]

Around 30 independent schools within the Dutch national school system are currently "exploring" the KED program for a selected number of students.[13][11]

Middle East[edit]

KED is the "preferred academic sponsor" of the newly[when?] opened Nün Academy ("Kunskapsskolan, Jeddah") in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.[11][14]
