A highlight
There are recurring culture and traditions in the Amerikanska Gymnasiet culture just like in a High School in the United States. We have a “Homecoming-event” every month where the classes can compete for points. Each event has three honor categories and the class with the most points by Year 3 wins VIP for all student activities.
During our Homecoming days there are always lessons as usual… but they are a bit more creative. On “Sporty Friday” there might be a hockey team sitting in the classroom… on “What not to wear Wednesday”… well then anything can happen. A highpoint in the year is “Teachers’ Masquerade” that is usually surrounded by secrecy beforehand and has high prestige among the teachers.

Yearbook
Every year, our students create the school’s Yearbook together. It brings together class photos, portraits, quotes, and highlights from the year’s events and memorable moments. Produced by the school’s Yearbook Club, it gives students the opportunity to document and tell the story of their school year together.
After three years at Amerikanska Gymnasiet, the Yearbook becomes something to take with you – a collection of memories from the people, experiences, and moments that made your time here unique.

Branded Events
MIC (Make it count) – The school’s annual debating contest. Classes meet one another in debates. We select a winning team for each Year and a winning team for each school. We compete in the “SM” debate too.
Beat the Teachers – The year’s big battle between teachers and students. The teachers choose the sport for the contest and do all they can to beat the students. The winning team gets a gold plaque on the school’s “Wall of Fame”.
AG Awards – The year’s big gala where we honor the highest achievements during the year according to the school’s set of values. The winner in each category is awarded an exclusive crystal statue. During the gala we also award 25,000 SEK in travel scholarships.
Clubs and Committees
Something that is really fun at this school is that students can start up a club themselves or join one or more other clubs. Every club has a captain that leads the club and club captains are awarded a club jersey by the school. Throughout the year there are sports and other opportunities to meet the other Amerikanska Gymnasiet schools in “SM”. There are more and more clubs in all our schools and a growing feeling of community among all the classes. Examples of school clubs are Soccer, American Football, Golf, Padel, Business, Space & Technology, E-sport, Debating, History, Basketball, Cookery and lots more.
A school were you belong
A safe and supportive school environment is built on more than just rules and routines. It also grows through strong relationships, shared experiences, and a genuine sense of belonging.
That is why school culture and traditions are an important part of life at Amerikanska Gymnasiet. We strive to create a community where students know one another, where students and staff build meaningful relationships, and where there are plenty of opportunities to get involved.
When people feel that they belong, they are better equipped to learn, grow, and reach their full potential.
