Information in English
Pre-school
keyboard_arrow_downYou can have access to pre-school from when your child is one year old until the primary school starts. Pre-school is fun, safe and a rich learning experience. Here your child can develop consistently with his or her capabilities. In pre-school we work on language, the ability to count, movement and social skills. Play, music and creativity are the basis of our activity.
In Säter municipality there are pre-schools in central Säter, Gustaf’s and in Stora Skedvi, altogether ten pre-schools.
Pre-school is open 6.30–18 am, Monday to Friday.
In Säter municipality there are no independent pre-schools.
In order to have access to pre-school you must be working or studying. If you are looking for work, or are on parental leave with another sibling, the child has a right to pre-school for 15 hours per week.
In order to obtain a place in pre-school you must make an application, either in our e-service or by filling out a form. We would prefer that you make the application via our e-service.
Säter’s Municipality’s Pre-schools
Public pre-school
The public pre-school is not a special form of pre-school. The designation “public” bears on accessibility — all children have a right to pre-school starting with the fall term in the year in which they reach three years of age.
The public pre-school is cost-free. It provides 525 hours per years. Planning of the time is decided upon before each new school year. The child may go for 5 hours per day, Tuesday-Thursday, 9– 14 am.
Public pre-school is not offered within educational care (family day care).
Other educational activity, educational care
Educational care is offered in Gustaf’s and central Säter and is operated by municipally employed day care providers.
In central Säter two day care providers work together in the home of one of the day care providers. In Gustaf’s three day care providers work together, where the activity on certain days of the week is conducted in premises at Konvaljen’s pre-school.
What distinguishes educational care from pre-school?
The difference between educational care and pre-school is that pre-school is a school form and that pre-school is governed by its own teaching plan. For educational care, the Swedish National Agency for Education has issued general advice on how the activity is to be conducted. Another difference is that in pre-school it is required that there be a licensed pre-school teacher.
Primary school
keyboard_arrow_downAll children in Sweden between seven and sixteen years of age are required to go to school. The education is obligatory and cost-free. In Säter all six-year-olds automatically receive a place in a pre-school class in the school which is within their residential area.In Säter Municipality there are five municipal primary schools.
What is most common is that the children go to a municipal school near their homes. Pupils and their parents can also choose another municipal school, a school in another municipality or an independent school.
There are no independent primary schools in Säter, but there are some in our neighbouring municipalities of Hedemora, Borlänge and Falun.
Secondary school
keyboard_arrow_downIn Säter Municipality there are no longer any national programs, but the municipality collaborates with neighbouring municipalities in order to give the pupils the opportunity to read the national programs they want. You will apply to the secondary school through elevantagningen vid Region Dalarna [pupil reception at Region Dalarna].Säter Municipality offers four of the five introductory programs, which are given at Dahlander Knowledge Centre at Ljustern’s Strand. These are:
• Individual alternative (IMIND)
• Language introduction (IMSPR)
• Preparatory training (IMPRE)
• Vocational introduction (IMYRK)
Secondary schooling in another municipality
Eleven municipalities in Dalarna collaborate so as to give you as a pupil the opportunity to read the program you want — regardless of where in the collaboration area it is offered. Through Gysam you will have access to the complete offering of national programs within the collaboration area.
You can also apply to a secondary school in another municipality, or to an independent secondary school. The right to financial support when you do not live at home can be affected, however, if the education you choose exists within the Gysam area.
