Vittra swedish school rosan bosch

If you want to raise creative kids, consider packing your bags for Sweden. 

At the bilingual Vittra Telefonplan school, which opened near Stockholm in 2012, there are no classrooms. Instead, Danish designer Rosan Bosch created a colorful open floor plan where kids can scale a mountain, duck into a cave, and chat by the tree.

The idea was to bring elements of nature indoors, where kids can roam around and explore.

We have a feeling the phrase "I'm bored" doesn't get thrown around very often.

Vittra Telefonplan sits about five miles south of Stockholm, in the town of Hägersten. The school doesn't look like much from the outside.



But once you venture inside, the school reveals its sprawling, oddly arranged layout.



The focal point of the school is its mighty "tree," which serves as a meeting place for all students and unites the other elements in the school.
