Bilingualism at KSYK
We offer all our students the possibility to study bilingually. At the same time though we take into account the preparation for the Finnish matriculation examination.
We have a lot of students and teachers coming from different cultures and together creating a multilingual community. Our common languages used in everyday school life, school occasions and celebrations are Finnish and English.
