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
Each pupil receives the support they need for studying and learning. The needs are individual, which is why support is offered in different forms. Support services for learning and schoolwork may include:
- diverse and varied exercises
- remedial teaching
- studying in flexible teaching groups
- special needs teaching
- various aid devices and assistants.
Our goal is that as many pupils as possible receive support at their local school.

Support and aid when facing issues or trouble
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.
