At Ounasvaara Upper Secondary School, we support you in making your own study choices. We aim to help you grow into a curious, hardworking, responsible, and well-behaved student who respects others.
In addition to the general study programme, we offer a sports programme with entrance tests. This is the only official sports upper secondary school in Lapland, designed to help young athletes combine studies and training. All sports students are part of the Lapland Sports Academy and receive its benefits.
Main sports include alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, football, ice hockey, volleyball, ski jumping/ Nordic combined, and athletics. Swimming students have their own coach. Training takes place at least six hours a week, mostly in the mornings before classes. Other sports athletes may also apply and receive coordinated coaching. Flexible study arrangements help students attend important competitions and training camps.
Besides sports, students can complete upper secondary diplomas in music, visual arts, and dance, in cooperation with the Lapland Ballet School. These diplomas can earn extra points for further studies.
Students studying vocational qualifications in Rovaniemi can choose to complete both their vocational and upper secondary qualifications here. The dual qualification programme typically lasts 3-4 years.
Our facilities are also used in the evenings and weekends for sports and community activities.
