English-enriched education

A few schools in Helsinki offer English-enriched education as part of their curriculum. In English-enriched education, 10 to 25 percent of the teaching is in English. Language-enriched education encourages and activates pupils to use the second language and develop the different areas of language skills effectively. Studying in two languages develops the child’s problem-solving skills, creative thinking and adaptability. The goals and content of teaching in English-enriched education are the same as in regular basic education.
