Childcare & Education
Each population centre in the municipality has its own school, child care system and leisure centre, all under the same rule for optimum use of the resources. In this area Mönsterås was one of the pioneer municipalities stating clearly that the work should consider all aspects of each individual.
Consequently, in each population centre you need only turn to one place, and the same responsible authority, whether your concern is babies or teenagers.
In Mönsterås and Blomstermåla there are primary schools and in Mönsterås also an upper secondary school.
Mönsterås has always been far-seeing when it comes to education. Already in 1637, a man called Johan Skytte established a school for the children of the district on a beautiful piece of land close to the river Alsterån and the Ålem church.
Skytteanskaskolan 2009
Since then, the school has been, and still is, there. Its name nowadays is the “Skytteanska skolan”, and it has been carefully expanded in order to meet present-day demands on an integrated school, kindergarten and leisure centre. A school with 360 years of background and a school for the 21st century.
