Learning French in Finnish Schools

Are you looking for a school in Finland that offers French as a foreign or bilingual language? With our new interactive map, you can quickly discover schools across the country that provide French language education.

A unique resource for families and educators
This map lists 180 institutions at the nursery, primary school, and middle school levels, marked with purple pins, as well as 54 high schools, identified by blue pins. Additionally, yellow pins highlight the country’s three bilingual programs (in Turku, Tampere, and Helsinki), all of which proudly hold the FrancEducation label awarded by the French Ministry of National Education.

It’s a valuable resource for:

  • Families looking to enroll their children in a school that offers French.
  • Teachers and educators wanting to better understand the network of schools teaching French in Finland.
  • Francophiles curious to see the breadth of the French language presence in Finland’s educational system.
