Abstract
Jecheon Gandhi School, which opened in 1997, is the only alternative school in Korea with an integrated middle and high-school curriculum. This school has been providing ecological education under the democratic school philosophy of growing into happy and mature citizens. Ecological toilets, farming, operating a curriculum based on love and spontaneity, and active social participation form a model of a future school that coexists with the local community by prioritizing the will of students. Based on Timothy Morton's concept of a place with potential, we can understand the Jecheon Gandhi School from cultural geography and aesthetic aspects. We aimed to create a village community that goes against civilization, and educational activities both inside and outside the school that resonated with the ideology of ecological art. The Jecheon Gandhi School can beused as an excellent school model for the future to overcome climate crises and regional extinction.
