The architecture of Finnish schools is characterized by openness and light. Large windows and spacious layouts create bright and airy classrooms that encourage collaboration and interaction. Emphasis is placed on creating a comfortable and inclusive environment where students feel welcome and motivated to learn.
Overall, Finland’s school buildings offer an inspiring and functional environment that supports learning at all levels. The meticulous planning and design reflect Finland’s commitment to providing an education that promotes student well-being and success.

During the trip, we will, among other things, visit:
Vuosaari High School Vuosaari High School, designed by Verstas Architects, is a prime example of modern educational architecture. Located in Helsinki, this school features a unique brick façade, wood-framed entrances, and cascading roof terraces. The design emphasizes sustainability with green roofs and solar panels. The interior is tailored for music and art education, offering state-of-the-art rehearsal rooms, studios, and performance spaces. Serving 900 students, the school also functions as a community center, highlighting the integration of public and educational spaces. Tour by Verstas Architects and Marko Paju, Principal, Vuosaari High School
Maatullin School Maatullin School, designed by Fors Arkitekter, is a pioneering example of sustainable educational architecture in Helsinki’s Tapulikaupunki suburb. The school utilizes a timber structure, featuring a collection of small wooden buildings arranged around a central green courtyard. This design fosters a human scale and enhances wayfinding. The tactile wooden façades create a warm, welcoming atmosphere, while the landscape design supports outdoor learning and ecological awareness through gardens and bike-friendly areas. Tour by Minna Lukander, Architects, Talli and Siljama Heli, principal, Maatullin School
Monio Upper Secondary School and Cultural Centre Monio, designed by AOR Architects, is an architectural marvel in Tuusula, featuring one of Finland’s largest log-constructed public buildings and the first three-storey log school. The design includes six gabled log buildings around a central courtyard, inspired by the area’s historic garrison architecture. The structure emphasizes sustainable wood construction and advanced fire safety measures. Monio functions as a community hub, blending educational and cultural services to foster interaction and collaboration. Notably, Monio won the prestigious Puupalkinto Award in 2023 for its innovative design. Tour by Kuutti Halinen, partner, AOR Architects and Anne Laajaniemi, Assistant Principal, Monio |
