Koulun esittely

Alakylä on alaluokkien 1-6 koulu, jossa toimivat myös kaupungin musiikkiluokat 3-6 -vuosiluokilla.  Lukuvuonna 2009-2010 koulussamme on n. 280 oppilasta, joita opettaa parisenkymmentä opettajaa avustajineen.  Sijaintimme lähellä keskustaa (opaskartta; K72 ) mahdollistaa esim. uimahallin, urheilutalon, urheilukenttien ja tekojääradan käytön sekä yhteistyön musiikkiopiston kanssa.

Vuoden 2009 alusta koulun yhteydessä on toiminut vuorohoitoa tarjoava Alakylän päiväkoti.  Koulu sekä päiväkoti pyrkivät yhteistyössä rakentamaan lapselle turvallisen kasvu- ja oppimisympäristön.

Koulun toiminnassa keskeisiä ovat hyvä perusopetus ja monipuolinen musiikkiopetus.

Tavoitteena on kasvattaa yhteistyössä kotien kanssa oppilaita,

- joilla on hyvä ja terve itsetunto,

- joilla on hyvät käytöstavat,

- jotka arvostavat oppimista ja ja ymmärtävät sen yhteyden työntekoon,

- jotka ovat esiintymis- ja ilmaisutaitoisia,

- jotka kunnioittavat luontoa ja kaikkea elämää,

- jotka arvostavat kulttuuria ja perinteitä.

getting the standard level of primary education, pupils obtain a solid level
of basic music education. Each pupil has his/her own musical instrument;
pupils learn to play their instruments at the Music Institute of

regular singing practice and humming melodies. Pupils also frequently
perform at events outside the school during the school year.
