A continuity in education
The French School Jules Verne offers the possibility to start school in playschool and to continue it in elementary school until CM2 class. Thus, the children continue to evolve in an environment that is familiar to them, surrounded by a caring educational team. Our playschool belongs to the private nurseries of the city of Helsinki. As such, parents can benefit from the KELA grants. The school is managed by a non-profit association.
