Pohja School

Pohja School, built in 1958, is located in the district of Pohja, near the city centre of Seinäjoki. The school has about 150 pupils annually. In addition to the teachers, our school employs several school attendance counsellors. In addition to the basic education 1st-6th grade classes, the school has two small classes.
Our school was renovated in 2013. During the renovation, the school’s premises have been expanded to dimensions that meet the requirements of modern schooling.  The renovation has also resulted in new dining and handicraft facilities.

The school yard area has plenty of equipment that activates physical activity, a playing rink and a gravel field. Versatile recess exercise is also made possible by recess playtime equipment acquired jointly by the school and the parents’ association.

At our school, we want to educate pupils to notice and appreciate everyone working in the school. Trust and respect between pupils and adults contribute to a safe and confidential working environment. The operations of Pohja School emphasise activity and doing things together. Pohja School is “a village school in the middle of the city”.
