Enrolling in pre-primary education
Children must participate in one year of pre-primary education before starting their compulsory education. Registration for pre-primary education is electronic. The School Committee notifies the parent or guardian of the pupil’s local school, in which he or she must then be enrolled. If the child needs day care in addition to pre-primary education, this can be applied for electronically.
Enrolling in basic education
The School Committee notifies the parent or guardian of the future first-grader’s local school in which he or she must then be enrolled. The process is the same for those applying for the language school. Pupils with disabilities who begin school in special education should be enrolled in the Tornionseutu school.
During April and May before their first year, new pupils have the opportunity to visit their future school.
