    Admission to Swedish-language basic education

    Parents or guardians have the right to apply for a school place for the prospective pupil at the school best suited to the pupil.

    If the number of applicants exceeds the number of places available in the year group, the admission criteria are applied in the following order. 

    1. Health-related reasons or support needs
    2. Distance to the school (based on the same measurement as school transport). 
    3. Siblings at school
    4. Lottery

    To be eligible under the first criterion, a decision on pupil-specific support or other certificates is required. The sibling criterion applies if the pupil has siblings at the same school during the year in which they start school.

    The headteacher decides on the school place. The decision on school places will be announced in Wilma by 18 February 2027 at the latest.

    The guardian may also apply for a school place for the prospective pupil at Turku International School. 

    When applying to a school within the Finnish-language basic education system, e.g. a language class, you should change the language setting in Wilma to Finnish and complete the Finnish-language form.

    Frequently asked questions

    Make sure you select Swedish as your language in Wilma!

    When the language is set correctly, you will find the application for Swedish-language basic education.

    In Turku, there are both language classes and language immersion classes. Language classes or language immersion classes start in Year 1. 

    You can apply for a place for your child in a language class or language immersion class in later years, but there may not be any places available in the classes, in which case no new pupils will be admitted. Find out more about the options and the application process: Language classes in basic education

    If you move to Turku in the middle of the school year or during the summer, you can enrol your child at school by contacting your nearest school.

    If you move to a different address in Turku, please inform your child’s current school of the move and contact the school at your new address. Your child can also continue at their current school if they wish.

    When parents separate, a child’s school placement within the Finnish basic education system is determined on the basis of the child’s official home address as registered in the Population Information System. The local school is determined according to the official address.

    Even if the child lives alternately with both parents, under Finnish law the child can only have one official address at a time.

    Information on guardians is retrieved into Wilma via the Digital and Population Data Services Agency. Any entitlement to school transport is also granted solely on the basis of the child’s official home address.
