Swedish was also taught at Finnish schools for quite some time, although I'm unsure how that is today...
Yes, it is still taught. It's obligatory from grade 7 to grade 9 (junior high school) and in high-school, and it used to be obligatory to pass the matriculation examination but that changed a few years back (I think it was four years ago, can't remember). Of course, if it's a Swedish-speaking school, it's the other way around with Finnish. Finnish and Swedish are called the two domestic languages, other languages are called foreign languages. Usually kids start to learn foreign languages before the second domestic, though, for some reason. Most often it's English but German is very popular in Finland as well. Russian tends to be really unpopular even though there are lots of jobs available for Russian-speakers.
In theory, all Finns are required to be at least trilingual. In practice it's not true, of course, but everybody has to have studied three languages at least. (There is a saying that Finns are bilingually fluent in silence. xD; And... if you ever go to Finland, it's a good thing to keep in mind I think. Especially in the Western Finland, the average people are very quiet and shy and downright rude. It might be uncomfortable for a foreigner.)
*/tl;dr* Sorry, ;;;;; I got a bit excited, it seems... orz
