Harjunrinne school

Harjunrinne school is located in the center of Riihimäki at Kalevankatu 3. Our school has about 540 students in grades 6–9. Harjunrinne school also has music-focused classes. One teaching group of the school studies at the Mäkikuja family support center.

Like other schools in Riihimäki, we use the electronic Wilma system, where you can find, among other things, school announcements and other matters related to school days. Our school has an active robotics club, we are a Green Flag school and participate in several international projects.

Harjunrinne school started its operations as a continuing school in 1930. In 1951, a school building designed by architect G. Jägerroos was completed on Kalevankatu, which initially housed a secondary school and civic school classes in addition to the continuing school. The post-secondary school changed to the Citizens' School in 1957 and the school had vocationally oriented wood, handicraft, household and trade lines. The civic school became the Harjunrinne school in 1976 when the elementary school came to Riihimäki. The renovated school building was commissioned in 2013.

  • The city and parish youth counselors form school-specific working pairs, called school sponsors. During the weekly visits, you can talk with the youth counselor about matters related to free time, hobbies, friendships or really anything else. Or you can just go and play with them!

  • In Riihimäki, the Kanta-Häme welfare area, or Oma Häme, is responsible for student care services.
