Is it possible for a school to be both “in the village” and in the heart of a bustling city? Look around you at Essingeskolan. This school, nestled in Stockholm’s Stora Essingen, seems to achieve just that. Founded in 1932, Essingeskolan wasn’t always its name. It was once known as Stora Essingens folkskola. The building itself, designed by renowned school architect Ture Rydberg, speaks of a different era with its functionalist design. Today, Essingeskolan is known for its unique focus on mathematics and chess. Imagine young minds, huddled over chessboards, developing their strategic thinking, skills that directly translate to their math lessons. This dedication to chess has earned Essingeskolan a special honor. It’s one of the few schools in Sweden certified by the Swedish Chess Federation! But Essingeskolan is more than just academics. The school shares its expansive yard with Lycèe Francais Saint Louis de Stockholm, creating a multicultural learning environment. Students from both schools mingle, their laughter echoing across the playground, reminding everyone that learning knows no borders.
