Educational
visits
The Finnish school system has been ranked as one of the best in
the world. Well-being promotes learning – in the Finnish education
system, everyone has the equal right to basic education free of
charge in a safe and exciting studying environment. There are no
rankings, no comparisons or competition between students, schools
or regions. The new core curricula for pre-primary and basic
education focus on learning, not steering.
There are 10,200 students in the 29
comprehensive schools in Lahti, including
the Swedish-language school, English-language
classes, special education and
the hospital school. There are over 1,000
teachers working in Lahti.
In partnership with the City of Lahti, we
provide programs with different school
visit topics for teachers, principles,
educators, researchers and education
officials to to get insights into Finnish
education excellence.
HOME VISITS
We arrange home visits in the Lahti
area. These allow visitors to get
a glimpse into the homes, lifestyles
and hobbies of locals. The three-hour
visit includes a meal and seasonal
activities (such as clearing snow,
gardening, berry-picking) and just
spending time together.
CAMP SCHOOLS
Through our network of partners we can
offer safe and high-quality camp school
services in the Lahti area. Diverse camp
school modules are available and can be
modified according to the customer’s
wishes. Camp schools can have a focus
on nature, art or sports and always
include socialising and working with local
children and youth. Educational content
for teachers and principals are prepared
separately.
