| Teaching approach of the school |
A stable and humane society is based on knowledge and continuous growth. The knowledge and understanding students bring with them from their school leaves new imprints on the world. Through Dibber International School, we want to be an international school where our students can grow as people and world citizens. A school that lays the foundation for lifelong learning with great emphasis on both academic and aesthetic subjects and where modern technology and multilingualism are a matter of course. When there is synergy between thoughts and emotions, a person develops, and learning is maximized. https://dibber.se/en/dibber-international-school-profile/ |
