Our schools support the growth and learning of children and young people in many ways. All adults in a school are responsible for taking care of the pupils’ well-being.
The family plays an important role in cooperating with the school and supporting the child's learning and schoolwork.
Various support forms for learning
All learners will have the right to learn and get support throughout their learning path. Pupils are supported in their learning and schoolwork primarily in their own teaching group with various flexible arrangements. Support will be provided early and proactively.
Teaching arrangements that support learning provide the basis for high-quality teaching and support. Learning support will be primarily provided group-specifically. All pupils will be entitled to it. In addition to support provided in the group, the pupil can be provided with pupil-specific support measures.
School healthcare
School healthcare is preventive healthcare. It aims to secure healthy growth and development for children and young people. Find the school nurse's contact details on the school website.

Do you need help?
In addition to teachers, schools also have other adults who can provide support when a pupil has trouble with schoolwork or classmates or is feeling down. The school social workers and psychologists are professionals in pupil welfare and can help and support them in various situations.
