Tallinna Nõmme Gümnaasium

What Tallinna Nõmme Gümnaasium does

Tallinna Nõmme Gümnaasium is a municipal upper-secondary school (gymnasium) located in the Nõmme district of Tallinn, Estonia, founded in 1929 and operated under the jurisdiction of Tallinn City Government. The school serves approximately 390 students in grades 10–12, offering four specialized tracks: Real Sciences (reaalsuund), Natural Sciences (loodussuund), a combined Nature-Basketball specialization (loodus-korvpall) delivered in partnership with BC Kalev Cramo/KK Sokud, and Humanities-Media (humanitaar-meediaharu). Education is provided free of charge, and school lunches have been provided at no cost to students since September 2017 per a Tallinn City Council resolution.

The school's core technology stack is administrative and pedagogical rather than proprietary: it uses eKool for grades and attendance, Google Workspace for Education for collaboration, and the national sisseastumine.ee platform for admissions. Physical infrastructure includes the historic main building at Raudtee 73 (cornerstone laid 1938, occupied 1939), a tower annex completed in 1999 housing the library and a planetarium, and a 1,772.4 m² accessible sports hall completed in 2021 at Põllu 68. On September 1, 2023, the school structurally separated from its primary school division, becoming the first Tallinn municipal school to operate exclusively as a gymnasium.

The business model is municipal public funding: Tallinn City Government allocates operating budgets, with no tuition revenue and no commercial pricing. Ancillary revenue streams include facility rental ("Ruumide rent") for the sports hall and spaces, and elective course delivery through Edumus School. Distribution is exclusively through the centralized national sisseastumine.ee admissions platform, with supplementary admissions via interviews and subject-specific aptitude assessments. The school is currently led by director Henrik Salum, who succeeded Riho Uulma (2006–2026) in 2026.
