The school has an international atmosphere with more than 30 mother tongues spoken. For the IB Diploma, two languages are required: either two native languages, or one native language and one foreign language. The languages offered include Finnish and English as native languages; Finnish as a foreign language; French and Spanish as foreign languages (groups are formed if the group size is large enough); and a School-supported Self-taught language option. Some of the teaching in these languages will be conducted in Finnish.
The school has a Bilingual Study Programme (BSP). An English Study Programme (ESP), fully taught in English, will start in autumn 2026.
