Ystad Gymnasium says it plans to expand teaching at Ystad Zoo from the 2027/2028 school year. This is a planned change for pupils starting in autumn 2027, rather than a measure already in effect.
According to the school, pupils on the introductory vocational course focused on agriculture, outdoor environments and animal care will be taught in the same class as pupils on the national Natural Resources programme. One third of the education is intended to take place at the zoo, combining classroom theory with practical care of exotic animals alongside teachers and staff.
The adapted upper-secondary school’s national Forestry, Land and Animals programme is also planned to change profile to Land and Animals. For that profile, the school says pupils will spend one day a week at Ystad Zoo, combining theory and practical work. Teaching is also intended to include care of outdoor settings and vegetation.
The school published the update on 28 October 2026. It has announced an open day at Ystad Zoo on Saturday 7 November 2026 for the adapted upper-secondary school’s national programme with the Land and Animals profile. The source does not state admissions requirements, available places, or what individual support may be offered. Those details should be confirmed directly with the school.
