In English

Juankoski High School is a safe and comfortable local high school where everybody has the freedom to be themselves. Our teachers know the students and have time for individual guidance and support. We are expanding our syllabus with simultaneous teaching in cooperation with Nilsiä High School. Additional language courses are offered in German and Russian, and you can take online courses in several other languages.

Our high school is located 65km away from Kuopio, the regional capital.
