Life as a Distance Learning Student
December 29, 2020
Our Future Goals
As a small, established Swedish school with over 20 years of history, we are excited to share our future goals and vision for the continued growth and development of our institution. With the recent launch of our international programme, we aim to cater to both our current students and new students who wish to join our school, maintaining our commitment to small class sizes and personalized learning experiences.
Expanding Our Curriculum
- Key Stage 3 Programme (Years 7, 8, and 9): We are expanding our offerings to include a comprehensive Key Stage 3 programme in 2025. This stage will provide unique learning opportunities tailored to the individual needs of each student, ensuring a solid foundation for their future academic growth.
- IGCSE Curriculum: We are in the process of implementing the IGCSE curriculum, which will offer our students a globally recognized qualification and prepare them for further education.
Differentiating Our School
- Small Class Sizes: We maintain small class sizes. This ensures that each student receives the attention and support they need to thrive.
- Personalized Focus: Our approach to education is highly personalized, with a strong emphasis on tutor and mentoring sessions. This allows us to cater to the individual needs and learning styles of each student, helping them reach their full potential.
- Safe and Supportive Environment: We pride ourselves on creating a caring and supportive learning environment. Our staff and administrators are approachable and dedicated to the well-being of our students.
- International Staff: Our diverse and international staff bring a wealth of experience and cultural perspectives to the classroom. This global outlook enriches the learning experience and provides students with valuable insights into different cultures and countries.
- Co-Teaching and Personalized Attention: Another key differentiator is our co-teaching model, which allows for personalized attention and tailored instruction. This approach ensures that every student receives the guidance and support they need to succeed.
This initiative helps our students stay connected to their cultural and educational roots while receiving a well-rounded education in an international environment. For future studies they should choose to return to study in Sweden.
Mission &
Values
By focusing on these core areas, we aim to go beyond traditional education and differentiate ourselves from other schools along the coast. Our commitment to small classes, personalized learning, and a supportive environment, combined with our international perspective and rigorous academic programmes, sets us apart and ensures that our students are well-prepared for the future. We are excited about these developments and look forward to continuing to provide a high-quality, individualized education that meets the needs of our diverse student body.
You’ll develop the cultural awareness and critical thinking skills you need to analyze and produce a broad range of discourse in a full spectrum of careers — and to make a difference in whatever you do.

Overview
Communication studies addresses the ways in which words, images, gestures, and symbols reflect and affect human behavior. At Estuidar University, we explore the many ways that communication can be used — and sometimes abused — to effect change in culture, law, politics, business, and every other realm in which people express themselves.
One day in class, your professor might show a social media post from a politician or celebrity. You and your classmates analyze, critique, and discuss that post from different angles, such as its medium, its message, its meanings both expressed and implied, the credibility of the messenger, and the cultural impact of the message. Then you write your own social-media post in response.
Career Opportunities
Our graduates work and intern in a range of jobs in a broad range of fields — public relations, marketing, advertising, social media, television, radio, magazines, human resources, event planning, education, nonprofits, and technology. We’ve also had graduates start their own businesses and others go on to graduate school in communication, law, public health, strategic communications, and education.
Program Learning Outcomes
Demonstrate an understanding of how communication shapes patterns of social interaction, the expression of cultural values and norms, political practices and relations of power, and our positions as local and global citizens.
Be able to use a variety of methodological tools to analyze interpersonal, intercultural, and rhetorical discourse that structures everyday interactions in both our public and private lives.
Demonstrate an understanding of the possibilities, problems, and history of discourse and deliberation in democracy and will be prepared to use their knowledge to work for a just and more humane world.
