A society that shares
People, Life, Community
Bomulsum Education Community places people, life, and community at the center of education. We aim to make educational values real, starting not with grand ideas but with small daily actions and practical living.
- Respect for oneself and others: We recognize each person’s qualities and abilities, and grow through our differences.
- Life-centered learning: We do not treat life as an object, but respect all living things as equal beings we live with.
- Democratic self-governance and responsibility: Children learn freedom of choice, responsibility, and how to face and solve problems openly.
- Sharing and cooperation: We value cooperation and the joy of inquiry over competition. Parents, teachers, and children grow together.

The Bomulsum Journey
Early Childhood Education (Cooperative Childcare)
Bomulsum Kindergarten
At Jeju’s first cooperative childcare kindergarten, children grow as members of a community who can care for themselves, help one another, and live together with nature.
Alternative Elementary and Middle School Education
Bomulsum School
Bomulsum School offers a Grades 1-9 program, corresponding to elementary and middle school. It is organized into age-based groups and reflects children’s developmental stages and needs.
Learning Environment
The Growth We Hope For
Relationship-Centered Curriculum
We provide an integrated curriculum that values organic relationships between people.
Life-Centered Curriculum
Learning about the world and working to create the world are not separate. Through a life-centered curriculum, we bring education and meaningful work back into daily life.
Self-Directed Learning
Children learn through a curriculum that reflects their own nature and individuality. Through student self-governance and project-based learning, they discover the joy of learning through direct experience and questions that come from within.
