The focus is on early intervention in order to prevent the emergence and growth of problems. Support for growth, learning and school attendance is shaped into three categories: general support, intensified support and special support. Everyone is entitled to general support. It is a natural part of everyday teaching and the learning process. Intensified and special support categories are based on careful assessment and long-span planning in multi-professional teams and on individual learning plans for students.
The student support is very strong in the Finnish education system. The school has five SEN teachers, three School Counsellors and one guidance counsellor to support the students.
Extra language support is available.
