Study at the Helsinki Normal Lyceum
Our general upper secondary school boasts a wide selection of subjects. We encourage our students to work independently, acquire a broad knowledge base, learn through progressive inquiry and adopt a scientific mindset. We also place great value on creativity and handicraft and our students can take individual university courses at the University of Helsinki.

Norssi offers general upper secondary education diplomas in home economics, visual arts, crafts and physical education. We regularly organise various theme days and visits to museums, exhibitions, theatres and the opera. Every year in early May, we celebrate the traditional Norssi Day, and in late May, we go head to head against the Ressu upper secondary school in the sports field.
