Our modular K-12 Polar School concept is based on the Finnish Educational model. It includes over 200 aspects, all designed to fit together seamlessly and providing the same world class results as a Finnish school. All the aspects are designed and localized in close co-operation with a team of Finnish and local experts. The design and delivery process is managed by Polar Partners and the services are provided by our vetted network of partners, who represent the best Finnish educational expertise.

Content of the Polar School Concept
Teacher Training
Every country is full of great teachers and they are the core of every school. Polar Partners will help you recruit and train them in accordance with the Finnish educational values and didactic methods. All teachers are educated and trained alongside their work for a number of years to master all the latest research based methods of teaching and learning.
Management Training
School management is the foundation of everyday school life. We train principals and managers to make decisions and use pedagogical leadership skills, which support modern teaching and learning activities in the school.
21st Century Curriculum and Content
The Finnish International Curriculum can be localised for any country. It teaches the skills our children need in the future. Together with curriculum-aligned content, the learning process is versatile and student-centric.
Architectural Design
Based on decades of research we know how to improve learning outcomes with a pedagogical design of different physical learning environments: indoors and outdoors with creative connections to the surrounding environment and society.
Digital Learning Environment Design
We make learning more engaging and individual with the latest pedagogically vetted, select software and devices.
Student Support Services
The Finnish education model has dozens of ways of providing more support or more challenges to an individual student. They range all the way from personalised study plans and support mechanisms for learning difficulties to systems for faster individual pace of studies.

Delivery of the Polar School Concept
1. Project Preparation
We start our co-operation by inviting you to Finland for a study visit to experience the Finnish education. Then we conduct a thorough feasibility study in your location to go through all 200 aspects of setting up a Finnish styled school. Based on this information we create a detailed project plan on how to setup a new school or to develop your current school.
2. School Design & Setup
Polar Partners manages the setup process with your team and selected professionals from our network of over 2 500 experts of Finnish education. The school can be set up in phases, a few grades at a time. We are committed to a holistic school design to make sure the school has all the critical aspects of a Finnish-style school, and that everything fits together and are delivered smoothly.
3. School Operation
Polar Partners supports the school management in teaching & assessment practices, latest content, software and stakeholder communication. We have various levels of partnership to fit your needs and future vision. Annual school quality audits are our way of ensuring you operate a Finnish-style school with the highest standards.
4. School Development
All great schools embrace continuous development. We bring in the best pedagogical models based on the latest research and technology, and we support the staff in life-long learning through professional development.
5. Premium school
After 5 years of development we have implemented all the aspects of Finnish education with you and reached the level of a Premium level school.
