Education and spare time

 

Public school education in Chignolo is performed in two buildings dedicated one to primary and the other to secondary education of students.

Primary school

The building housing the primary school is traditional and includes wide spaces used as informatics labs, music room, image education rooms; one room is also reserved for the school canteen. Moreover, there is an equipped gym which is used also for the extraschool sports activities by the people of Chignolo and of the neighbouring villages.

 Secondary school

The secondary school, on the contrary, is housed by a more modern building; as for primary school students, secondary students can find here special spaces: laboratories for technical and artistic education, for informatics, for sciences, canteen rooms, gym. As a completion of the sports education, the school can count on the new polyvalent ground lying next to it.

 

  Cultural centre

As support of the cultural activities of our citizens, of schools and of the villages in the whole Isola Bergamasca, Chignolo d’Isola boasts a cultural centre which is of primary importance thanks to a new room equipped for both theatre representations and for concert and cinema activities which spread throughout winter and spring.

The new theatre has got 350 seats and, since built inside the school sports centre, can take advantage of all necessary facilities (included a bar and a room for restoration).

Even though it belongs to a small village, it counts over 8000 books, besides services of borrowing and consultancy, borrowing between libraries, provincial data base, borrowing and consultancy of papers and magazines (at the moment you can find “La macchina del tempo”, “Quattroruote”, “Travel”, “In moto”, “Il Giornalino”, “Il Corriere della Sera”), bibliography information, internet, besides a sector for the young supplied with videos.
