Our Experience
Strong Trust among Stakeholders in Education
• Finland genuinely believes in education for all and focuses on
working in an effective partnership with schools and parents
to bring up students as understanding people who accept
differences.
• Emphasis is put on equality, respect, choices, happiness and a
positive approach.
• A flat school organization structure with no promotional posts
and no built-in appraisal system and ESR so that teachers enjoy
professional autonomy and adopt an open and proactive mindset
for professional development.
Student Centred Curriculum to cater for diversity with flexible
teaching methods.
• Blended learning using new technology and e-material to
promote students’ thinking on top of hands-on experiential
learning.
• Adoption of 1:1 iPad for G4 – 9 and use of apps to cultivate
students’ creativity and motivation. Coding education is
provided for senior forms.
• Teaching assistants, social workers, educational psychologist
and nurse to support educational needs of students.
Emphasis on Sports with boys and girls playing different
games. Most students cycle to school and are proud of their
own Finnish style baseball.
• Long recess and lunch break allowing time to play and
mingle with friends.
• Self-service buffet lunch in canteen with good choices of
healthy food.
• Shorter school hours for G1 – 2.
