In Jyväskylä, the registration times and practices for teaching groups in basic education for the academic year 2025–2026 have been reformed. What is new is that registration for the first class is divided into two parts.

During 24.10.-8.11.2024, pupils will register for the first grade in Kortepohja School in English, as well as in Jyväskylä Steinerschool and Jyväskylä Christianschool. Registration takes place via a separate link.  

The guardians of children in municipal preschool education will receive a link and more detailed instructions for enrolment via the Edlevo-message. The guardians of children in private preschool education will receive a registration link from the child's own daycare centre. The registration link can also be found on the Jyväskylä Basic Education website starting from 24.10.2024.  Registration for the first class on the website of the City of Jyväskylä (registration form is in Finnish).

Children enrolling in English-language instruction will be tested in Finnish and English in November. The guardians will receive the child by email from the day of the test.

Decisions on student admissions will be made during November. If the child is not admitted to the school or English-language education he or she is applying for, the guardian will notify him or her of the first grade registration for the first grade in January. During week 3, families will receive a letter at home with more detailed instructions on registration practices.
