School

Turun normaalikoulu – Norssi – is the University of Turku Teacher Training School.

We have 630 pupils in grades 1 – 9 in basic education and 320 senior high school students in the national and international IB section. The school was established in 1892, originally in the city of Käkisalmi, and was moved to Turku after World War II. Class and subject teachers do their guided training in the Teacher Training School as part of their pedagogical university studies for a teacher career. Teacher Training School provides in-service training for Finnish and foreign teachers and takes part in University and Faculty projects arranging in-service training abroad as well.
