Telefonplan School, in Stockholm
Sweden has new school system that is eliminating all of its classrooms in favor of an environment that fosters children’s “curiosity and creativity.” (Pics)
Vittra, which runs 30 schools in Sweden, wanted learning to take place everywhere in its schools — so it threw out the “old-school” thinking of straight desks in a line in a four-walled classroom (via GOOD).
All of the furniture in the school, which looks like a lot of squiggles, is meant to aid students in engaging in conversation while working on projects.
The school is non-traditional in every sense: there are no letter grades and students learn in groups at their level, not necessarily by age.
Admission to the school is free, as long as the child has a personal number (like a social security number) and one of the child’s parents is a Swedish tax payer.

Hello there! This is kind of off topic but I need some help from an established
blog. Is it very hard to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast. I’m
thinking about making my own but I’m not sure where to start. Do you have any tips or suggestions? Thanks

I’m impressed, I must say. Seldom do I encounter a blog that’s equally
educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The problem is an issue that too few men and women are speaking intelligently about. I’m very happy that I came across
this during my hunt for something relating to this.

You have made some good points there. I looked on the web to
learn more about the issue and found most people will
go along with your views on this website.

Hmm is anyone else having problems with the images on this blog loading?
I’m trying to figure out if its a problem on my end or if it’s the blog.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
