Konalan ala-aste, a primary school, operates at two separate locations. The so-called "big school" is located by the Riihipellonkuja and was founded in 1981. The schoolhouse is a low white building, and it provides education for grades 1-6 as well as special education. Near the border with Espoo, there is the Hilatien Koulu, which was founded in 1990 and provided education for the grades 1–2. The "little school" was closed in 2011 - 2012 due to poor indoor air quality.
