Thorengruppen becomes Edukatus
September 26, 2024
ThorenGruppen, which got new owners and a new board in May this year, is now changing its name to Edukatus. – The name is a small but important symbol of the major change currently being implemented in the organization, says Paula Hammerskog, Communications Director at Edukatus.
Edukatus is one of Sweden’s largest educational companies, with around 80 preschools, schools, and adult education units. The new name points towards a clear direction where education – educate us – is entirely in focus. It also demonstrates that Edukatus is an educational organization with high ambitions.
The new name has been approved by the Swedish Companies Registration Office. A name change has also been implemented for Thoren Business School, which is now called Affärsgymnasiet. Thoren Framtid, i.e., Edukatus’ nine preschools and twelve primary schools, is also in the process of changing names.
“We have chosen a different path there, where the staff at our preschools and primary schools have worked to develop local names themselves. For example, our primary school in Växjö has changed its name to Mobergsskolan, after the author Vilhelm Moberg,” says Paula Hammerskog.
Thoren Sports Academy in Umeå will also undergo a name change, and the new name will be Sports Academy Umeå.
