BACKGROUND

To understand our school and students, to learn to know us and really figure out who we are, you should know a little about our hometown Orivesi, Finland and the Finnish education system.

On the pages below, you can read basic information about all this. What it is like in this country of four seasons, light summer nights and dark winter days.
