Myllylä School we have classes from 1 to 6 at the moment. We also have three classes with special needs education. There is also a pre-primary unit in our school. We have 260 pupils at school. In the autumn 2015 we were celebrating our 20 years as a school. Our renovated school building has been built to enable all kind of teaching and learning ways.

Our school is located close to the center of Orimattila. Orimattila is a rural city which has a large area. Our pupils come from close areas of Myllylä, Koivula and Lintula. In our school there are some immigrant pupils, too.

Our main idea is "A chance for every learner". This is for children as well for adults.
Working and learning together is important for all of us. Every adult is for all the pupils. We are excitable explorers in the world of learning. We are keen to work in mixed-age and subject groups.

In our daily work we used to use ICT. Also pupils are very good at using the help of modern technology. All the teachers have studied ICT skills and are able to use it. We like languages and all of us speak English, Swedish and many of us either German, French, Spanish or Italian. This has been one result of our former Comenius- and Erasmus-projects.

One of our focus is internationality. We have worked in several EU-projects from the beginning of our school. Now we are as partners in two Erasmus + projects. This is something that all pupils, staff, parents and local authorities find very important.
