Sophie Mannerheim School (Finnish: Sophie Mannerheimin koulu; formerly Aurora School, Finnish: Auroran koulu)[1] is a primary and hospital school located in the Taka-Töölö district in Helsinki, Finland. The school has grades 1–9, and it has the special mission of hospital teaching to teach elementary school-aged children who are hospitalized at HYKS.[2] The school is named after Sophie Mannerheim (1863–1928), a baroness nurse who founded the Children's Castle, among other things.[2]
As of 2019[update], the school operates in mobile modular buildings in front of the HYKS Psychiatry Center.[2] In addition, the school has branch office on the Stenbäckinkatu street near the New Children's Hospital.[3] As of 2023[update] planning is ongoing for a move of the school to Laakso, where a new hospital is expected to house a children's ward starting from 2028.[4][5]
