The SISU Program
Forget the subjects. Think BIG.
We welcome students aged 5-14 years old for the academic year 2023-2024.
We offer the following levels of the SISU Program:
SISU Kids - KG-Preschool (Age 3-5)
SISU Students - Grades 1-7 from the age 6.
SISU Program is not based on the traditional division of subjects. We think bigger. Throughout elementary and middle school, children study phenomena combining different subjects, especially English, Mathematics, Science and Arts rather than focusing on discreet subjects.
The core contents of the program are five different areas together with the unique SISU skills that prepare students for life.
SISU program has been prepared by experienced pedagogical experts and teachers with many years of experience in the field of education both in Finland and international contexts and it follows the standards of the Finnish National Core Curriculum.
