The renovation work of the upper secondary school was completed in the spring of 2015, and in the autumn of 2015, the renovated facilities were introduced. Comprehensive sealing repair work has been carried out in these premises. In addition to the repair work, the premises have also been reformed. The upper secondary school has a modern language studio and a laboratory. The library and the students’ lounging areas have also undergone changes during the renovation.

The teachers are experienced upper secondary teachers from different upper secondary schools in the network.

At eLukio, you can complete the general upper secondary school syllabus and matriculation examination, or you can study individual upper secondary education courses, such as languages, as a subject student.

Studies are mainly completed as remote studies over the internet. Registering for upper secondary education in accordance with an adult high school’s distribution of lesson hours ends in mid-August.
