At the British International School of Stockholm (BISS), we do things differently when it comes to teaching mathematics. Rooted in innovative strategies and a deep commitment to individual learning needs, our approach sets us apart from other, more traditional ‘one size fits all’, methods.

At BISS, we believe that exceptional education begins with truly understanding each child as an individual. In today’s blog post, Lizanne Jakobsson, the Inclusion Leader at Altorp, will share with you how BISS ensures that every child at our school receives a learning experience that’s truly tailored to them.

Assistant Principal of Inclusion and Individual Needs Helen Trethewey explains our approach to ensuring all students make progress and achieve their potential.
