Education
Our vision is to provide the best schools and preschools in the country. Many of the smaller villages in our municipality have their own local schools and preschools, and our high school offers a wide selection of programmes. We also have after school recreation centres, a special needs school, education for adults, distance learning at university level, a culture and arts school and a folk high school whose list of graduates includes some of Sweden’s most famous journalists and tv-personalities. Luleå University of Technology is also within commuting distance.
We work continuously to ensure that all children and pupils receive the same high quality education delivered in a safe and welcoming environment.
Preschool should be fun, safe and educational
Preschool is for children aged 1 to 6 years while parents are working or studying and all children have the right to attend preschool free of charge for 525 hours per year, starting from the autumn semester of the year the child turns three.
Our preschools provide an educational environment with engaged and highly trained staff. They are designed to be fun, safe and educational with a focus on learning by playing, creating and exploring – individually, in groups and together with adults. It is important to us that both children and parents are happy with how our preschools are run and operated.
There are preschools in Sangis, Nyborg/Ytterbyn, Gammelgården, Töre, Pålänge, Bondersbyn and on several locations in central Kalix.

Kalix Municipality prides itself on having one of the highest teacher-pupil ratios in the country and on high levels of academic attainment. There are eight municipal elementary schools and one independent school in our municipal area, each with its own individual profile. All our school facilities are of a high standard and many are newly renovated.
Parents and caregivers are free to choose which school they would like their child to attend and most attend the school closest to where they live. Elementary schools and high schools are all free of charge including a daily cooked lunch, books and any other materials your child needs.
All of our schools offer safe activity-friendly indoor and outdoor environments with play areas, sports fields and green areas as well as being close to nature.

The National Agency for Education is the government authority responsible for steering and supporting Swedish preschools, schools and adult education centres. The agency has developed a guide to help parents, pupils and students who would like to know more about more when choosing a preschool, school or a particular course of study or training.
