HEI Schools is an international preschool concept based on the well-recognized Finnish Early Education Model that has been ranked best in global comparison. Our approach and methods are based on the latest research in education and pedagogy, and it is rigorously tested in preschools across Finland with proven results. The University of Helsinki is a HEI Schools' founding partner.

HEI Schools is an award-winning international kindergarten from Finland that has consistently been ranked at the top of the World’s Best Education Charts.



HEI Schools is founded in partnership with the University of Helsinki
The Finnish model has been rigorously tested for decades with outstanding learning results. It combines the best and latest learning philosophies, models, and practices to meet the highest standards in education. At HEI Schools, we adapt its holistic approach, emphasizing on a child’s perspective without compromising academic results.
As our co-founder, the education experts at the University of Helsinki are a part of our daily working team. Together, we constantly strive to research, plan, and innovate for a successful implementation of the Finnish early education system. This is done through a carefully designed plan by providing purposeful play, nurturing guidance from highly-trained teachers, as well as the opportunity to adopt learning as a natural process shaped by one’s interests, all in due time. In this way, learning can happen everywhere, all the time.
The Finnish education system and HEI Schools successfully combine emotional intelligence
and academic competence
Competitive, performance and test based models are not good for children. At HEI Schools, with the Finnish education model, we promote comprehensive growth, learning, development and the well-being of children, and provide a rich foundation for the progress of their emotional development, skills and competence.
