Introduction
Thanks to the excellent surroundings, our school is able to offer a wide variety of sport activities. Most upper secondary schools in Finland emphasize one or two subjects in their curriculum. Sotunki's surroundings being so ideal for many different sports, we emphasize physical education and sports. Our students have a possibility to include a training program as a part of their studies. Our school offers specialized coaches for several sports and we also work in co-operation with various sport clubs in Vantaa. Especially football, floorball, ice hockey, swimming, and athletics have been very popular in the past few years.
