The school is located in Helsinki, in Etelä-Kaarela, and a new school building was completed in autumn 2021. The central auditorium seats about 200 people, with roughly 120 fixed seats and space for 68–85 additional seats on movable chairs, and it features sound and lighting systems, three wireless handheld microphones, three wireless lapel microphones, and a stage measuring 11 by 5 by 3.4 meters; a piano is available by separate agreement. The auditorium can function as a dining area when needed, and the stage area requires the furniture to be returned to its original layout after use. The complex includes a small multipurpose hall for quiet indoor activities with a sprung floor, gym mats, benches, a small trampoline and parallel bars, as well as a projector and screen. There is also an 18-seat meeting room with hybrid meeting capability and a 360-degree conference camera.
