School
Saarenmaa used to have its own school encompassing grades 1-4, which was attended by children from Saarenmaa, Vertaala and Lintukangas. The school was closed in August 2020 due to poor indoor air quality as the local government of Jyväskylä agreed that repairing the school would be too costly. The children were moved to a newer school in Savulahti.[2]
