Birminghamin Suomi-koulu on Britanniassa rekisteröitynyt vapaaehtoisjärjestö. Tervetuloa tutustumaan koulumme toimintaan!

The Birmingham Finnish School, a registered charity, had been operating in the region for over 30 years, with people coming to the school from Birmingham, Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Coventry and all around the West Midlands. It meets up roughly twice a month on Saturday mornings (10:30-12:30) in Rowington Village Hall (CV35 7BU). Welcome to our school! For the most up to date information about the school, check out our Facebook group.

The Birmingham Finnish School is a unique and vibrant institution, which serves as a point of interest for Finnish families and individuals looking to connect with their roots and maintain their language and culture.

In addition to our language classes, we offer a variety of extracurricular activities and events that help our students better connect with Finnish culture. These include traditional Finnish music, cultural festivals, and holiday celebrations. Our community is welcoming and inclusive, and we encourage all members to participate fully in our many social events and activities. We are committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment for all of our students, and we pride ourselves on our strong sense of community.

Whether you are a Finnish-speaking family looking to maintain your language and culture or an individual interested in exploring Finnish language and traditions, the Birmingham Finnish School is the perfect place for you. Contact us today to learn more about our classes and programmes, and to join our vibrant community of Finnish speakers in the Midlands.
