To work in the schools of Imatra

We built three new school centers in Imatra, where we want to guarantee healthy and modern working and learning environments for both children and our staff. 

Pre-school groups under early childhood education also operate in all school centers. The idea is that the student's progress along the study path is as flexible as possible. 

Imatra is one of the top municipalities in the country when it comes to digitalization, and we are also involved in UNICEF's child-friendly municipality model. We develop and develop agilely.
