High-school education in Salla

Sallan lukio (high school) operates at the School Centre, on the same property as the Sallatunturi School. The high school was founded in 1966.

High-school studies build on the syllabus of basic education. 75 is the minimum number of courses for high-school studies, and the adult track is 44 courses.

The high-school syllabus can also be completed by taking specific tests. The syllabus is spanned over three years, but the study duration can be shortened or lengthened. The period cannot exceed four years, unless an extension is granted to the student for a justified reason.

Sallan lukio offers all national mandatory courses, specialisation courses, as well courses in applied studies. In a small high school, teaching is individualised and support for learning is easily available.

The high school at Salla has been operating since 2007 as an international-border high school. This means that students from Russia are also attending. This helps to keep the high school more vibrant and means we can offer a wider selection of courses.

A local high-school education curriculum has been created for the municipality of Salla, based on the national curriculum criteria.

In addition, the high school offers an adult track, where one can complete certain studies or the entire high-school syllabus. If you are interested in the adult track, please contact the director of the high school or guidance counsellor.
