Itä-Suomen School (Eastern Finland)
Overview
The students participate in the matriculation exam in the upper secondary school of the School of Eastern Finland. The special task of our upper secondary school is to give a student good skills in the Russian language and Russian culture. The upper secondary school complies with the Finnish national core curriculum, but a student has the possibility to carry out fewer compulsory courses if the emphasis is on the Russian language, Russian culture, and entrepreneurship studies. In the upper secondary school of the School of Eastern Finland, students study the advanced syllabus of Russian and English languages. The student can also choose a foreign language from the basic syllabus. The student will carry out an extensive amount of Finnish as second language courses.
In Finland, we have four seasons. During the summertime, the temperature varies from 15 to 30 degrees Celsius. During the winter time, the temperature may vary from 0 to minus 30 degrees Celsius.
