Imatra joint high school (IYL)

A traditional high school

Imatra co-educational high school (IYL) was founded in 1908. The high school with more than 400 students is located in the Mansikkala school center, Finland's largest wooden school.

IYL offers teaching in a traditional day high school line, in an IB high school, in an Eastern Finland school high school or in a line aiming for a double degree. In addition, we have the South Karelia Sports Academy and Culture Academy.

We offer a healthy and up-to-date study environment and a good atmosphere. Our students get competitive skills for postgraduate studies.
