Lerum is a community of 37 000 people, situated on the shores of beautiful Lake Aspen, approximately 25 km north of Sweden's second largest city Göteborg (English: Gothenburg). Rocky hills and dark forests are characteristic features of the landscsape, and the district has won a certain reputation for its horses.

Lerum has been inhabited since the Stone Age, but it is only during the present century that the place has developed into the smart little town of today.
 
Consequently, ours is a relatively young school, founded as late as in 1980. The first school building was a converted bottle cap factory; since then the school area has grown into a small "campus" with several old and new buildings of varying style, all set in lush parkland.
 
Today, Lerum Secondary School has about 1500 students aged 16 - 19 with approximately 200 staffmembers. There is also a section for adult students. Our school offers 11 national educational programmes, both vocational, aesthetic and academically orientated ones. In addition, Lerum offers young yachting talents a possibility of combining sail training with school studies within the Sailing College, an integrated part of the school, based on Lake Aspen. Also integrated in the school is the College of Arts and Crafts located at Nääs Mansion, the very first of its kind in Sweden, with a history going back 120 years.
 
There is a keen interest in international contacts in the community as a whole, and Lerum Upper Secondary has partner schools in several countries. No less than ten languages are taught, viz. English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Esperanto, Latin, Classical Greek, and Sign Language of the Deaf, as well as Swedish, of course - all with the help of both conventional methods and the latest computer technique.
