Vittra Utbildning AB (Vittra Education) is a Swedish education company which operates schools. The company runs 27 schools in Sweden and other schools in Norway, Denmark, Latvia, and Estonia.[1] In Stockholm, the company owns the largest independent school in Sweden.[2] The children have individual curricula designed for their needs and skills.[1]

The company was established after the Swedish educational reforms in 1992. It is owned by Bure Equity.[1] The founder and first CEO was Stig Johansson.[2] The current CEO is Fredrik Mattsson.[3]

Vittra bought the Swedish company Proteam, which operated three high schools, in May 2007.[4] By 2009, nearly 9000 students were being educated in Vittra's schools.[5]
