Finland is world-renowned for its education system, consistently ranking among the top performers in global assessments, and its international schools reflect that same commitment to quality. Helsinki-based international schools offer English-language instruction within a country celebrated for safety, clean air, and an outstanding quality of life. From 2026, Finland is also expanding English-language upper secondary education to five cities, signalling growing support for internationally mobile families. The Finnish lifestyle, with its emphasis on outdoor activities, work-life balance, and accessible public services, makes it an appealing destination for relocating families.

The English School in Finland is a private bilingual institution offering Finnish-English education from preschool through secondary level to about 700 students (ages 5–18).

Campus facilities include a two-campus layout (Mäntytie for Grades 1–6 and Preschool and Valimotie for Grades 7–12), two gymnasia (one divisible), and a central bilingual library. The school runs exchange links, a debate club with international and national competitions, and clubs organised by The Friends of The English School, alongside after-school care.
