Such a school can be designed with creativ-ity and innovation.
Schools are the most familiar facilities for chil-dren to use.
In addition,since they have facilities that can be used to provide a variety of activities and programs for children,it is important to use them extensively for purposes other than school education. For example,Shizuoka Prefecture conducts theFuji Leisure Clubto support extracurricular activities for children,mainly on holiday Satur-days. It also aims to support the creation of open schools using schools as centers for activities. The instructors are not limited to elernentary,lower and secondary high school teachers. The Club works to ensure a wide variety of ordinary local people with skills and experience as instructors.
