About

SUNDskolen is a vibrant, inclusive school with a strong focus on well-being, community, and meaningful learning. The name SUND reflects the school’s core values: health, balance, and a holistic approach to education. Students learn in an environment where academic development, social skills, creativity, and physical activity are all considered equally important.

The school works with modern teaching methods and emphasizes hands-on learning, cooperation, and real-life experiences. Classrooms are warm and welcoming spaces where students feel safe to participate, ask questions, and explore their strengths.

SUNDskolen also offers a lively after-school programme for younger students. Here, children spend their afternoons playing, discovering new hobbies, and taking part in small projects guided by trained educators. Activities often include outdoor play, creative workshops, simple crafts, sports, and social games — all designed to support healthy development and strong friendships.

Please note

You will most often be placed with the younger students. Please note that we cannot guarantee opportunities to assist with classes for older students, although this may occasionally be possible depending on the school’s needs.

Accommodation

You will stay with a local host family, with a maximum commuting time of about one hour to the school.

Volunteer Tasks

As a volunteer at SUNDskolen, you will become part of a supportive and energetic school community. Your daily tasks might include helping in creative classes such as art or music, assisting during sports and movement activities, or supporting teachers during lessons in English, Maths, or practical subjects. You will always collaborate closely with staff — your role is to support learning and engage with students, not to lead lessons on your own.

You may also be involved in the after-school programme, where you join the children’s play, help set up simple activities, whether indoors doing crafts or outdoors on the playground.

Volunteering at SUNDskolen offers you the chance to experience a caring, healthfocused educational environment where relationships, well-being, and learning go hand in hand. You will be part of a team that values openness, collaboration, and the positive energy you bring to the school.
