School year information 2026-2027
We want to offer our students a wide range of possibilities. Apart from a solid learning experience we want to give everyone a chance to grow through interaction with people from other cultures and from all walks of life. Outside of class we want you to experience Finnish culture and traditions as well as taking part in events and festivities that we organize throughout the year. You can rent a room in the school dormitory at a reasonable cost.
