Options for basic education in Helsinki guide
The guide is a useful tool for new families who would like to know more about basic education in English, bilingual education and other options in different languages that Helsinki has to offer.
“I believe the guide comes especially handy for families who are planning to move or have just moved to Helsinki. Settling in to new city can take time, and with this guide we want to help new Helsinki residents adapt to their new hometown and life in Finland,” says Education coordinator Anni Holopainen from the Education Division.
Options for basic education in Helsinki guide is available as a printed brochure and as online version at the accessible julkaisut.hel.fi(Link leads to external service). The printed guide will be posted to schools, libraries, internationally recruiting companies in the Helsinki region and to other partners and stakeholders.
