Information about the school
Konginkankaa school is located in the Konginkankaa area. Konginkankaa school has a long tradition, as it is Central Finland's first public school from 1867.
In the academic year 2023-2024, the school has a total of 58 students and a staff of 7 people.

Konginkangas is a lovely, small village between open fields and waterways. Konginkanga has one of the most beautiful wooden churches in Finland. Akseli Gallen-Kallela has also immortalized landscapes in his works, and Mikko Niskanen has shot his films on Konginkanga.
The school building is one-level, neat and practical. The school yard is large and the school has, for example, sports hall, sports arena with basketball racks, skating rink and sports field. Key outdoor sports are organized in the surrounding area, and a lot of exercise and activities are done in nature. A new children's traffic park will be completed near the school in the summer of 2024. There is a lake on both sides of the school and Konginkanka harbor is nearby. In autumn 2025, the people of the Konginkangka daycare center will move from the sheltered premises to the school premises.
The rural school has a village school-like atmosphere, and a comfortable and immediate work atmosphere. In a small school, we operate flexibly and can react to changes quickly. The school staff actively participates in various projects. For example, in the spring of 2024, we will participate in the joint art project of the entire Konginkanka village planned with the community artist of the village.
The city of Äänekoski wants to preserve the small, village school-like units and invests in them. Konginkangka's daycare center will become part of the school in 2025. Nuorisotila Vapari operates next to the school.
There is still an old school in the school grounds, which is used by the home district association. In Konginkanga, the village community is active.
