Upper secondary school
Mönsteråsgymnasiet
When Mönsterås planned its new Upper Secondary School, an investment for the future was made.
A bright and aesthetically appealing building should provide a creative and developing environment for teachers and pupils.
New ways of working, with above all a pupil-active pedagogy was the keyword, and the tool was a laptop computer for each pupil.
Mönsteråsgymnasiet, of course has an internal computer network, and collecting information from the Internet is routine for the pupils. Mönsterås was first in Europe with such a major venture.
Because of the large influx of pupils the school has been expanded several times – the last time in 2003.
Having the Kalmar University quite near gives further dimensions to education and competence development possibilities.
The Upper Secondary school offers programmes in Technology, Natural Science,
Social studies, Commerce and Administration, Child welfare, Nursing training and programmes for Individual Choices.
