Evening schools in Helsinki????

Post by Stranger » Tue Dec 18, 2007 9:12 pm

Hello I'm new here and have some questions about the education system.
Next year I' m moving to Helsinki and officialy I don' t even have finished highschool. However unofficialy I could teach on a university
Physics and Maths. So I' m asking, if there are any evening schools for someone like me in Helsinki where they teach you in english so I could make my international baccalaureate????
Or other ways to finish highschool without going to a real highschool and make the exams?????

If you want to take the International Baccalaureat then you would have to apply to:

Ressu
Helsinki International School (private fee-paying)
SYK

These schools are highly selective and there is an entrance procedure (exam, interview etc). There is also an age limit. And they are regular day schools. I don't know of any school teaching the IB through evening classes.


Eira (Hank's link) runs the Finnish matric and the Cambridge A levels. They have an intensive Finnish course which does a great job at preparing students for the Finnish matric. My son has a friend there and he says he is learning Finnish quicker than ever before (11 study hours per week). Eira is specifically for adults (but there are big kids there too).

You can't graduate from High School without sitting some kind of exam. If your objective is University then even a Matric / IB is not enough: most faculties require you to take an entrance exam.
