Sköndalsskolan

Did the architect know, as he laid the first brick, that Sköndalsskolan would become a living canvas? Sköndalsskolan isn’t just a school. It’s a testament to creativity, etched in brick and stone. The school opened its doors in 1953. It was designed by architect Cyrillus Johansson. The building itself is an architectural marvel. Riksantikvarieämbetet has even designated it as a building of high architectural value. The design is unusual for its time. It boasts many interesting details. Notice the playful brick motifs adorning the facade along Perstorpsvägen. You’ll see a sailboat, a witch, a Yule Goat, and a girl jumping rope. There’s even a short poem embedded in the brickwork: “a b c – 1953”. And above you, on the main building, Allan Wallberg’s “Noah’s Ark” relief adds an artistic dimension to the school’s unique character. Beyond the aesthetics, Sköndalsskolan is a vibrant hub of learning and play. The school grounds are extensive. There’s a large yard offering numerous play areas. A football field, which transforms into an ice rink in winter, provides even more space for activity. During breaks, students can choose from various supervised activities. The school also utilizes its surrounding environment. Nearby parks, a lake, and natural areas become extensions of the classroom. Sköndalsskolan also prides itself on providing nutritious meals. The school has its own kitchen. It prepares breakfast, lunch, and snacks daily. The menu often boasts two or three main courses. There’s always a wide selection of at least seven different salads. After the school day ends, the adventure continues at the after-school program. Here, learning is complemented by rest, play, and social skill development. Students have a voice in shaping their after-school activities. This ensures a meaningful and engaging experience.
