Konstikas Operation and Fees

Konstikas Afternoon Activities is intended for pupils in grades 1–2 of primary school. Konstikas operates on all school days from 12:00 to 17:00. The leaders work in three languages: Finnish, Swedish, and English.

Konstikas includes an afternoon snack, open workshops, and weekly Art School or Arts n´ Music School lesson following the curriculum. Teaching is provided by Art School teachers and collaboration partners.

• At the Art School, children explore various visual art techniques, tools, and art history.
• Kuvismuskari (Arts n´ Music School) combines visual arts and music education.

Holidays
Konstikas follows the holiday schedule of primary schools. On weekdays preceding public holidays, celebrations, or school breaks, Konstikas closes at 16:00.

During the first three weeks of June, we organize Summer Konstikas, a full-day summer camp open to everyone. From Midsummer until the start of the school year, Konstikas remains closed.

• To ensure children have a safe afternoon
• To offer children experiences of success
• To provide opportunities for social interaction
• To offer refreshing and stimulating activities
• To allow time for rest

We play, move around, spend time outdoors, go on small trips, make art, read, rest, do homework, and have a snack. Children’s wishes are also considered when possible.

Students generally enjoy being at Konstikas. The best parts are nice friends, kind instructors, and the games, play, and art workshops. The worst part is when someone disturbs others. Every student has the right to a peaceful environment, and this is taken seriously at Konstikas.
A student who consistently disturbs or behaves inappropriately may be dismissed from Konstikas.

Registration for Konstikas is binding. Termination of attendance must be submitted in writing one month in advance.

The monthly fee is charged for every month in which the child participates. Only half the fee is charged if operation is offered on no more than 10 days in the month or if the child is unable to attend for more than 10 days due to illness.

If the child is absent the entire month due to illness, no fee will be charged. A medical certificate must be provided. If the child is absent for the entire calendar month for other reasons, half the monthly fee will be charged.

Grades 1–2: 160€ / month
Includes the Art School fee and multidisciplinary activities.

Grades 3–4: Monthly fee depends on how many days per week the student attends:

• 1–2 days / week: 50€
• 3–4 days / week: 90€
• 5 days / week: 110€

In addition to the monthly fee, 3rd–4th grade students pay a semester fee (autumn + spring) for their Art School studies — 130€ or 170€, depending on the group.

Please remember to inform Konstikas of any allergies. If there is anything in the child’s health or life situation that should be considered, please inform the leaders or the Principal of the Art School. All personal information is handled confidentially.

Art School students are insured against accidents. The insurance is valid during lessons and trips. During the school day, the insurance also covers the school grounds and travel to and from school, as long as the child follows their usual route.

Any accidents should be reported to the Art School office as soon as possible.

In case of emergencies, it’s important that Konstikas has up-to-date contact information. Please remember to keep your details current in the Eepos service.
