Suomi School for Kids

Welcome to FinnFun Suomi School for Kids: Where Play and Fun Meets Finnish Culture and Language

There is an old traditional Finnish saying that play is children’s work. At FinnFun Suomi School for Kids, children learn about the Finnish language and culture through fun and games.

With the guidance of our experienced teachers, FinnFun Suomi School is a place for kids to learn how kids learn the best: through play and guided activities!

What to expect?

What can you expect from FinnFun Muskari?

  1. Play-Based Learning: Children learn the Finnish language through fun and engaging play activities. All our staff speak both Finnish and English, making Suomi Koulu a great place to learn for kids coming from various backgrounds and language skills!

  2. Guided Play and Activities: Through guided activities, such as music, play, and arts and crafts, kids explore Finnish culture, traditions, and customs while developing their language skills.

  3. Support Your Learning: We all know how fast you can lose a skill, such as speaking a language if you don’t practice it. This is why at FinnFun Suomi School, we want to inspire children to speak in Finnish by making our activities fun and making speaking Finnish as easy as possible.
