Enrolling to preparatory education

Preparatory education lasts for a maximum of one year. After that, the pupil transfers to a regular basic education group.

In preparatory education, it is also possible to study basic education subjects if it is suitable for the pupil. The school provides a free warm school meal. The pupil is entitled to pupil welfare services (for example, healthcare). The wellbeing services county Oma Häme is responsible for pupil welfare services.
