Finnish Courses
Would you like to learn Finnish?
The Finnish School of Amsterdam was established in September 2013. The school offers various language classes and courses for both children and adults.
Our mission is to assist bilingual families and children to maintain and develop their Finnish skills. Moreover, we want to give them a glimpse into the Finnish culture and history.
We would like to emphasise that the Finnish School of Amsterdam is a non-profit organization (stichting). The organisation keeps running with the help of volunteer parents who want their children to learn Finnish, and to maintain their roots to Finland while living abroad.
Sign up for the adults Finnish course
During the spring semester 2026 (January – June) a beginner course for adults is organised.
The classes are held on Saturdays 10:00-12:00 (school days are listed below). The door is open as of 9:45am. During the class there is a coffee break during which you can buy coffee and (often home made) treats in the cafeteria.
Location: International Community School (AICS), Arent Janszoon Ernststraat 1179, Amsterdam.

If you are interested in learning Finnish, please email us for the details: suomikouluamsterdam @ gmail.com.
You are welcome to join also in the middle of the semester. For the school year 2026/2027 the sign-up will open during the summer 2026.
If you are not a beginner in Finnish, and would like to have the opportunity to practise your conversational skills, a group of non-native Finnish parents often gather during the school days to discuss with the help of one native speaker. Just ask us for more information!
Hope to see you soon!
