We are a lower secondary school in a town called Orimattila, in southern Finland. Our school is a public school that offers education for students between ages 13-15 (grades 7-9). In Orimattilan yhteiskoulu we are interested in connecting with other schools around the world. The Finnish school curriculum enables a rather wide range of both academic and non-academic subjects, including subjects like home economics, visual art and craft. We also offer Robotics as an after-school activity, and our robotics teams, with their devoted teachers, have gained some success in international competitions!

The teachers in our school have a mutual goal to make our school more international and offer our students experiences that expand their views of the people and world around them. Since we received the Erasmus+ certificate in 2022, our teachers have attended international courses, participated in job shadowing projects and organized international mobilities for students. We are especially interested in strengthening our skills in the field of technology and cooperative teaching as well as in increasing student equality and civic engagement.
