Admission

We are holding another aptitude test for children born in 2017 on Saturday 7.5.2022. Registrations should be submitted by 22.4.2022.

At the beginning of the year of your child’s fifth birthday, you will receive a letter inviting them to the Preschool 1 aptitude test.

• You will also receive information about the test dates, fees and other details
• The acceptance of children is based on
  • A language test that assesses the general terminology and language skills that a child needs in a learning environment
  • Working habits
  • Social skills in a group environment
• No English language skills are needed when applying, minimum requirement in Finnish language skills is A1.2

The aptitude test will be held at the premises of The English School, which are located at Mäntytie 14, 00270 Helsinki.

Currently, there are openings for fifty children in The English School preschool program. If the tests indicate that your child can succeed at The English School, your family will receive an official letter of acceptance. You can then either accept or decline the invitation.
