MYK is located in the historic Mahnala ​village in Hämeenkyrö, an area that has existed since the Iron Age. The school is situated in ​a nationally significant cultural landscape, 11 km from Hämeenkyrö town center and 30 km ​from Tampere.

Since the early 1990s, MYK has implemented and developed distinctive pedagogy as part of ​its operational culture and learning environments. The school embraces sustainable ​everyday practices and teaches sustainable development through environmental education ​methods, in close interaction with the local environment and various networks.

The school facilities include the Old School Building (1903, undergoing major renovation ​since 2021), a new building (2018), a school garden, and outdoor facilities such as a yard ​hut, field, swings, climbing frames, and a future small animal enclosure for animals like ​chickens. The school grounds lead directly to the local cultural environment and nature, with ​almost all nature and landscape types typical of Pirkanmaa within walking and biking ​distance.

Students work in the school garden, learn about rural entrepreneurs, collect natural ​products, compost and recycle, and participate in both the renovation of old structures and ​the construction of new ones. They learn from local heritage and develop future influence ​skills through the Green Flag council, which functions as the student body (Green Flag ​permanent/sustainable usage since 2003).

The school's operations aim to support the goals of basic education by avoiding the waste ​of natural resources, reducing environmental impact, and promoting a sustainable lifestyle. ​This helps students understand the interconnectedness of various issues. Environmental ​awareness guides actions, and students grow to take responsibility for their environment. ​This unique learning culture supports children's education and develops the pedagogical ​and social practices within their operational environments.

Mahnala Environmental School is part of the Finnish Nature and Environmental Schools ​Network (LYKE)*.
