Kellarpelto Elementary School provides education from pre-school to grade 6. Around 250 people attend our school each day. Kellarpelto School is a learning environment that takes every child’s individual background into account. We believe it is important for children to discover their strengths, enjoy learning, and grow into honest and responsible individuals.

At our school, we intervene quickly when problems arise. We have clear procedures for different situations, such as dealing with bullying, learning difficulties, and other challenges a child may face along their school journey. The top priority for all staff is to act in the best interests of the children. In our educational work, we focus on three main areas: providing diverse support for students, making extensive use of information technology, and teaching students how to acquire and evaluate information. An important part of our work is cooperating with the pre-school groups within the daycare. All pre-school children in the area study and play here at Kellarpelto School.

The school’s curriculum is a promise that we fulfill through our actions. To achieve this, we rely on the support and cooperation of our students’ parents and our partners. Parents also have the opportunity to influence the everyday life of our school through a very active Parents’ Association.

Our school has been fully renovated, and in 2024 we proudly celebrated our 70th anniversary.

We currently have 12 student groups with 12 classroom teachers, as well as two special education teachers. In addition, six classroom assistants work alongside teachers to support children in reaching their goals. Other staff members are also a valuable part of our support network, helping to ensure that daily school life runs smoothly.

The Kellarpelto area is very popular among families with young children. It is a safe western suburb of the town of Savonlinna, which is continuously growing and developing its network of services and businesses.
