The Upper Secondary School in Lindesberg caters for some 1200 students providing them with a very high standard of education in a wide range of subjects. The sports curriculum includes Judo, provided on a national basis, and Handball, Golf, Ice Hockey, Rhythmic Gymnastics and Dance, provided on a regional basis. The school is very active in promoting international student exchanges and visits.

Here the emphasis is on education in the field of IT and the centre also provides the most up-to-date methods and techniques for distant tuition.
