School-form mix
Teacher resources
Teacher density and teacher certification for the group's 6 compulsory and upper-secondary schools covering 740 pupils. Municipal benchmarks are weighted by pupil count in the municipalities where the group operates schools.
| Municipality | Schools | Pupils/teacher | Municipal bench. (pupils/teach.) | Qualified teachers | Municipal bench. (qualified) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Uppsala | 5 | 11.1 | 13.3 | 72.9% | 79.6% |
| Leksand | 1 | 13.3 | 12.1 | 65.3% | 73.9% |
Method and remaining data gaps
Pupils per teacher and qualified teachers come from Skolverket's school-unit statistics. Pupils per teacher is weighted by pupil count. Percentage metrics are weighted by teacher FTE where available, or derived from pupil count and pupils per teacher. Municipal comparisons come from Kolada and switch between compulsory-school and upper-secondary KPIs depending on school form.
Current data lacks exact per-subject qualification, teacher stability as a share retained for at least three years, teacher sick leave, and teacher salary and teacher FTE per provider/school. They are therefore not shown as a proxy from total personnel cost, since that would mix teachers with other staff.
Source: Skolverket and Kolada. Teacher salary per pupil is not shown because teacher salary and teacher FTE are missing from current data.
Pedagogical resources
Learning materials, teaching tools and the school library across the group's 6 compulsory and upper-secondary schools (740 pupils in the basis).
Method and limitations
The cost figure is Skolverket's "learning tools and school library per pupil" line (learning materials, equipment and library combined), weighted by pupils across the group's compulsory and upper-secondary schools; the sector median compares against other groups. The library share shows the proportion of schools that report having a school library (presence, not staffing with a qualified librarian per the 2023 library-law requirement). The number of 1:1 devices with lifespan, and a separate IT / digital-materials cost, are not tagged in current sources and are therefore not shown.
Results and engagement
Results and satisfaction signals across the group's 6 compulsory and upper-secondary schools (740 pupils in the basis).
Method and limitations
Eligibility for upper-secondary (year 9), upper-secondary exam within three years (higher-ed-prep and vocational programmes respectively) and a satisfaction index for support from home from the school survey, weighted by pupils across the group's schools; the sector median refers to eligibility. Skolinspektionen's full attitude survey and the number of reported abuse cases are not available as structured per-school data and are not shown. The satisfaction index is based on a single survey question and is not a measure of pupil influence or engagement at large.
Funding flows
Revenue and profit per pupil based on annual reports from the group's 3 providers with 859 pupils.
Weighted average across municipalities where this group operates. Covers all municipal compulsory-school costs (Kolada).
About the data and important caveats
- Profit is not dividends. The profit shown in annual reports is often retained in the company as equity and is not necessarily distributed to shareholders.
- Revenue is not school funding. The company's revenue may include activities other than running schools.
- Municipal cost is not school voucher. Kolada's cost per pupil covers all costs for municipal compulsory schools, including premises and administration, and is not directly comparable to independent school revenue.
- Pupil counts. Pupil numbers come from Skolverket and may differ from the basis used in annual reports.

Source: Bolagsverket (Swedish Companies Registration Office), latest annual reports in Skolkoll's database. Figures sum companies where annual-report data exists, including holding or service companies when present. They are therefore not split per pupil or school voucher in Skolkoll's current data. No time series is available in current data.
Method for personnel and costs
- Personnel costs are reported annual-report fields and are shown as absolute amounts and as a share of revenue.
- Personnel cost per employee uses the reported average number of employees. It is not a pure salary figure and normally includes social-security contributions and other personnel expenses.
- Employees means the annual report's average employees where available. Skolkoll does not label this as FTE unless full-time equivalents are separately tagged.
- Other external costs may include premises, but are not used as premises cost per pupil because rent and premises costs are not separately identified in the current projection.
- CEO/board remuneration and substitute-teacher costs are not shown as KPIs here until they can be separated robustly from notes or income-statement line items.
Returns and profitability
The basis includes 7 companies with usable financial fields (latest report: 30/06/2025). Metrics are summed bottom-up across companies in the current group structure and only shown where usable denominators exist.

Method and limitations
EBITDA margin is operating profit plus depreciation and amortization divided by revenue. ROE uses profit for the year divided by equity. ROCE uses operating profit divided by total assets minus current liabilities. CAGR uses the longest available revenue history up to five years. Listed ESEF rows that are already consolidated group totals are excluded from the bottom-up sum.
Revenue and costs in the company sample
How the reported companies' revenue splits across cost classes and operating result. Based on 5 companies with a complete income statement (accounts in Skolkoll's database: 30/06/2025).
- Revenue
- Total revenue170.7 MSEK
- Costs & result
- Personnel costs117 MSEK (68.5 %)
- Other external costs47 MSEK (27.5 %)
- Other operating costs4.1 MSEK (2.4 %)
- Operating result2.7 MSEK (1.6 %)
Method and limitations
The chart is a bottom-up aggregate per group: amounts are summed across the companies that have a complete income statement in their latest annual report (iXBRL). The nodes are cost classes and result items — not individual companies, and no flows between named companies are shown. Listed ESEF rows that are already consolidated group totals are excluded to avoid double-counting. "Other operating costs" is a residual (revenue − personnel costs − other external costs − operating result) that absorbs depreciation and other operating costs net.
The split of the operating result (dividends, group contributions, retained) is shown only when both dividends and group contributions are disclosed and the amounts fit within the year's operating result. Dividends are decided at the general meeting and may be drawn from retained earnings; group contributions and tax sit on other lines of the income statement. The shares are therefore an illustrative split of the operating result, not an exact accounting chain. Flow metrics refer to the latest fiscal year; multi-year series require a history store and are not yet available.
Revenue and result in the company sample over time
The reported companies' revenue and net result over the last 2 fiscal years (up to 5 companies), with net margin and year-over-year change. Accounts in Skolkoll's database: 30/06/2025. This is the net result (after tax) — not the operating result in the flow above.
- 2024Revenue 165 MSEKNet result -6.3 MSEK (−3.8 % margin, loss)
- 2025Revenue 170.7 MSEKNet result 0.8 MSEK (0.5 % margin)increase revenue: +3.4 % revenueincrease margin: +4.3 pp margin
Method and limitations
Amounts are summed bottom-up across companies with annual-report data per fiscal year, with earlier years taken from each annual report's multi-year overview. Only revenue and net result exist historically — the cost breakdown and dividends in the flow above refer to the latest year only. The margin is net result divided by revenue. Because the group's companies may be acquired or divested between years, a company count is shown per year; years with fewer companies are flagged and excluded from the change figures.
Funding flows and dividends
The basis includes 7 companies (latest report: 30/06/2025). Amounts are summed bottom-up across companies in the current group structure for the latest fiscal year in Skolkoll's database. Listed ESEF consolidated rows are excluded.
Method and limitations
Amounts are summed across the group's companies from the latest annual report (iXBRL); listed ESEF rows that are already consolidated group totals are excluded. Dividend per pupil divides total reported dividends by the pupils in the group's counted school units, so it under-counts for listed operators whose schools run via subsidiary org. numbers outside the selection. The amounts are reported fields, not proven recipient chains. The effective tax rate is summed corporate tax divided by summed profit before tax for profitable companies, derived from the income-statement identity (profit before tax minus profit for the year) to be robust to sign conventions across K2/K3 and ESEF. Flow metrics (dividends, cash flow, tax) are currently extracted only for the latest fiscal year; multi-year series for these require a history store and are not yet available.
Balance sheet and risk
Balance-sheet risk from annual reports for 7 of 8 known companies (latest report: 30/06/2025). Based on a bottom-up aggregate of companies with annual-report data.
| Report | D/E | Goodwill | Liquid funds | Interest expense |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30/06/2025 | 2.3x | – | 16.7 MSEK | – |
| 30/06/2024 | 2.4x | – | 14.3 MSEK | – |
| 30/06/2023 | – | – | 12.5 MSEK | – |
| 30/06/2022 | – | – | – | – |
Method and limitations
- Debt-to-equity is total debt divided by equity. When current and long-term liabilities are missing, total assets minus equity is used where the value is plausible.
- Goodwill, liquid funds and interest expense come from tagged iXBRL fields when available. Missing fields are not shown.
- Rapid changes are flagged from the latest available history point and should be read as signals for manual review, not as a credit assessment.
