Our Mission
The Finnish School of Seattle is a welcoming community for families, providing high-quality educational programs for Finnish-speaking children and teens.
The school’s values and objectives are as follows:
- We learn and use the Finnish language in a joyful, supportive environment—where we respect one another and treat everyone with dignity and kindness.
- We explore and share Finnish culture, society, and values in connection with other cultures, fostering an open, inclusive, and welcoming community.
Curriculum
We include all forms of children’s culture in our curriculum as diversely as possible – language teaching, exercise, play, handicrafts, music, literature, drama and Finnish customs in age-appropriate ways.
We also celebrate children’s birthdays during the calendar year, Finnish holidays (Runeberg Day, Shrove Day, Kalevala Day, Easter, Mother’s Day, Spring Festival, Independence Day, Father’s Day and Christmas), and consider American holidays like Halloween and Thanksgiving.
