Welcome to Turun normaalikoulu!

Norssi, a school attended by pupils from near and far

Turun normaalikoulu is a teacher training school affiliated with the University of Turku. It has a primary school, secondary school and upper secondary school. Areas of emphasis at the compulsory level include bilingual class, art, media and science.

In bilingual class both Finnish and English is used in teaching. English language is not merely the target of teaching and learning, but a tool for learning the content of a subject.

The central goal is to provide pupils with solid language skills. At least 25 % of the teaching is given in English. Teaching in Finnish and Finnish literature is given solely in Finnish, and the curriculum corresponds both in quantity and content to the general curriculum for basic education. Teachers utilise the CLIL method.

Parents and guardians may enrol their child(ren) in the foreign-language class when they register their child for the first grade in Janu-ary in Wilma.Testing for the bilingual class takes place in February. Pu-pils are not required to have skills in English; however, feasible com-mand of Finnish is required.
