School policy on daily matters
The everyday procedures of Turun normaalikoulu are based on cultural interaction, pedagogical use of IT-technology, awareness of the importance of language skills as well as openness, participation and co-operation.
Cultural interaction is realized in a natural way by us working together with a multi-cultural approach.
The use of computers and IT-technology is part of our daily work: digital and electronic tools and equipment are used to enhance learning in lessons.
All learning takes place with the help of language. All teachers are also language teachers in their special field. Concepts are clarified via many channels and means and tasks are tailored to suit each student in order to enable the students to do well in their studies.
Turun normaalikoulu aims at open interaction and co-operation both with the interst groups in the school and other stakeholders in its environment.
