Additional Notes
The usual challenges you encounter in a new, small, for profit, growing school. It has a great parent-teacher community, supportive parents. Amazing students, very international. Steep taxes but it includes health and retirement coverage. The city is boring and nothing much to spend on, so I get to save and travel every break. Sweden is serious with work-life balance, so breaks are taken seriously. There’s free lunch if you eat with the kids. Check the Swedish school calendar and there are lots of weeklong breaks throughout the year.
