Growing Wild and Free,
Together in Jeju
A Treasure Island where children find their own path to the future.
A school built by parents, for children.
Bomulsum was founded by a group of parents who wanted to take an active role in their children’s development. We understand that the prime years for learning are from childhood to adolescence.
- Meta-Learning: We teach children "how to learn," the master skill that lasts a lifetime.
- Independence: Guiding children to become independent, nature-loving, and engaged citizens.
- Community: A place where parents, teachers, and children grow together.

Our Environment
A Different Kind of Growth
A Warm Atmosphere
"When you enter, it looks like the house of Pippi Longstocking with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Kids playing and laughing everywhere, and teachers having just as much fun."
Nature is our Gym
"There is no fancy gym. Instead, we have a treehouse, a handmade slide on the hillside, and a forest spot like a 'Smurf Village' with wooden structures scattered among the trees."
Learning to Learn
"The teaching revolves around meta-learning. Once learning becomes a source of joy, it stays with you forever. Children explore, invent games, and become independent."
