In recent years, the number of children who are not attending school has been increasing, and the need for diverse learning opportunities for children has been growing. Bamboo Forest Scoley Middle School aims to nurture children's independence and creativity through hands-on learning in a rich natural environment and work experience in the community.

We will work to create a community where all adults and everyone around them wish for the growth of the children by implementing "Petit Choe-chi", a program that fosters relationships with adults who have skills and knowledge through work experience.
