Schools today face increasing expectations: higher academic standards, evolving pedagogical demands, global competition, and the need to support students’ wellbeing in rapidly changing environments. Many schools want to improve or modernise, yet they also want to honour their identity, history, and existing curriculum.
Fennomena Elevate was created for these schools. It is a collaborative development service designed specifically for existing institutions seeking to strengthen their educational offering without losing who they are. Instead of replacing the curriculum or imposing a predefined model, Elevate works with schools to refine, enhance, and upgrade what already exists.
At the heart of this service is a simple belief:
Meaningful improvement happens when schools, teachers, and experts work together.
Respecting the School’s Identity — While Bringing Expertise
Fennomena Elevate begins by deeply understanding the school’s current curriculum, culture, and strengths. Every school is unique, and Elevate honours that uniqueness.
Together with school leaders and teachers, we:
- review the existing curriculum
- integrate research-based elements of Finnish education
- bring clarity, coherence, and progression across grade levels
- identify gaps and opportunities for strengthening learning
The goal is not to change the school — but to help it become its strongest, most effective version of itself.
Collaborative Curriculum Design: The Core of Elevate
The foundation of Elevate is collaborative curriculum design, where school staff and Fennomena experts co-create an enhanced programme.
Together we:
- refine structures and learning targets
- embed wellbeing, creativity, and 21st-century skills
- introduce Finnish-inspired pedagogical practices
- strengthen assessment and learning experiences
Because teachers help design the curriculum, they feel ownership — leading to stronger implementation and long-lasting results.
Empowering Staff Through Professional Training
A high-quality curriculum only works when teachers feel equipped to bring it to life. Elevate includes targeted training that focuses on:
- applying new pedagogical approaches
- differentiating learning
- strengthening student engagement and classroom culture
- aligning daily practice with the upgraded curriculum
This hands-on training makes teaching feel clearer, more organised, and less complicated — leading to happier, more confident teachers who enjoy their work.
Supporting Wider School Development When Needed
While curriculum is central, many schools also benefit from support in other areas. Elevate can extend to:
- budgeting and resource planning
- staffing structures
- daily operations and workflows
- school policies and manuals
- accreditation processes and quality assurance
Support is tailored to each school’s needs, ensuring sustainable development.
The Outcome: Stronger Learning — and a Happier School Community
When curriculum strengthens, pedagogy improves, and teachers feel supported, learning naturally increases. The results are visible across the whole community:
- Students become more motivated, confident, and engaged
- Teachers experience less stress and greater clarity in their work
- Families feel more connected, informed, and satisfied
- The school gains a stronger reputation and improved long-term stability
Fennomena Elevate ultimately helps schools provide higher-quality learning and a happier daily experience for everyone — all while respecting their identity and strengthening their future.
