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 aptitude test is conducted in Finnish and English, so either Finnish or English skills are required when applying to Preschool 1
• 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
  • Children's working habits
  • Social skills in a group environment

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

• The test fee for Preschool 1 is 100€

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.
