The classrooms and equipment are top-notch, up-to-date and modern. The school has a fantastic performance space and a 3D printer, among other things.

In addition to the principal and director of education, Pääsky has 11 teachers, three special education teachers, one resource teacher, five school attendance counselors, and five people in property and food service positions.
