Overview

Janakkala High School is perfectly located in Southern Finland midway between capital Helsinki and the 3rd biggest city Tampere, and next to cities Hämeenlinna and Riihimäki. It takes only an hour to travel from Janakkala to Helsinki, the capital of Finland. The railway track is just a two minute walk from our school.

Janakkala High School is a community of 260 students (100 in Tervakoski branch, 160 in Turenki branch) and 40 teachers. 

Our General High School Programme offers quality teaching and our teachers support you on your way to the Finnish matriculation examination (the final tests) but also on your way to applying into universities and further studies after high school.

Our Sports Programme is a perfect choice if you're interested in combining your goal-oriented sports hobby and high school studies. Our sports programme includes extra sports lessons and training your own sports with our sports coach.  

Students study in Finnish, study English and can also choose Swedish, French, German and Russian, Chinese, Spanish, Japanese and Italy. The school participates in international projects and cooperation, offers entrepreneurship studies and practices ICT skills in many ways. 

We have participated in the Finest Future program from the year 2022. We have a lot of experience in guiding the Finest Future student in their studies. We have ~30 Finest Future in our High School at the moment. All the Finest Future students are willing to guide and support our new student together with our staff. Students will be well taken care of and looked after in Janakkala!
