At Gothenburg International School, we believe that meaningful learning happens when teachers truly know their students. That is why we intentionally keep our classes small, with a maximum of 15 students per class.
Small class sizes allow us to create a learning environment where every child receives the attention, support, and challenge they need to succeed.
In smaller classes, teachers can spend more time with each student, understand their strengths and learning needs, and provide personalised guidance throughout their educational journey.
Students benefit from:
More interaction with teachers
Greater participation in lessons
Individualised feedback and support
Increased confidence and engagement
Stronger academic progress
When teachers know their students well, they can build meaningful relationships that support both academic achievement and personal development.
Students feel comfortable asking questions, sharing ideas, and taking on new challenges in a supportive environment where they feel seen and valued.
Smaller classes create a positive classroom atmosphere where students can concentrate, participate actively, and learn without getting lost in the crowd.
Teachers can adapt lessons more effectively, ensuring that students are appropriately challenged and supported at every stage of their learning.
Every student learns differently. Small classes make it possible for teachers to identify strengths, address challenges early, and help each child develop confidence in their abilities.
This personalised approach supports not only academic success but also wellbeing, independence, and a lifelong love of learning.
Many schools talk about personalised learning. At GIS, small class sizes make it possible.
With a maximum of 15 students per class, every child is known, every voice is heard, and every learner is supported to achieve their best.
