Quality education in the Fostra Group
We are creating two unique institutions for the Fostra Education Group schools to help us provide the highest quality education, and to sustain it over the long term.
Fostra Academy
It is an internal learning platform for new and existing teachers. It focuses on aligning values and using the most effective teaching methods to achieve a consistent level and high quality in education. It aims to create an environment where every teacher reaches his/her maximum potential.
Fostra Vision
It is an advisory board of experts working outside the Fostra Group. The aim is to help the management of schools and Fostra Academy to set the right direction and goals in key development and innovation areas in the medium to long term. This includes, for example, deciding on how to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into the curriculum.
