Chang'o Elementary School in Seongsan-myeon, Gunsan City, led by Principal Kim Yong-hoon, is attracting attention with its eco-friendly education that emphasizes harmony with nature.

Although Chang'o Elementary School has only 14 students, under the educational philosophy of "Our school becoming one with nature through communication," the school operates a gardening program where all grades participate together.

On June 9th, students harvested cucumbers and jujubes they had grown themselves, experiencing the value of nature's preciousness and cooperation.

Principal Kim Yong-hoon stated, "The process of children touching the soil and harvesting fruits is a valuable experience for learning attitudes and values in life," adding, "We will continue to pursue eco-centered education in the future."

Chang'o Elementary School plans to enhance education by directly experiencing the changes in nature through seasonal crop cultivation and raising sensitivity to climate crises. The significant practices of the small school are gaining attention as a new model for local education.
