When we asked about the schools in Finland, they said...

"Contact the school as soon as possible as spacing is limited. The school website is: ww.ish.edu.hel.fi The school is closed for holiday the entire month of July. You must have an interview with either the headmaster or the appropriate principal for your childs grade before they will be allowed to attend school. At this interview you must provide copies of your childs school records. Do not buy school supplies ahead of time, the only thing your child needs is pens and pencils, the rest of the supplies are included in your tuition and provided by the school," commented one expat when asked about International School of Helsinki in Helsinki.

"The International School of Helsinki (ISH) is one of the best international schools in Finland. Located in the capital city, ISH offers a comprehensive education for students from pre-school to grade 12.
