WHAT WE DO
Our Mission
It is our mission to lead people who are at least 18 years of age to discover “Lifelong Learning” — continual learning. Through relating to people of various cultures and age groups, we provide a chance to understand ourselves through others’ points of view. We give opportunities for young people to learn through experience and gain a strong sense of direction and confidence for life.
At NoMaFo we seek to be on the leading edge of change/evolution in alternative education. Building on the wisdom of the ancients, we integrate other tools of modernity to support balanced development/mastery. We spend time with peers and other adults who are on this path of mastery in their lives.
We experience a way of life removed from the normal flow. NoMaFo is all about letting creativity flow. Free from exams and grades, we are able to work without restraint by letting energy and commitment guide us – to go places where we’ve never been before. We take the time to realize our potential and socialize with others. In the process, we will connect with and touch base with the unknown and the unexpected.
Being in Japan allows us to delve into a different and rich culture, expanding our horizons into this completely distinct and exciting environment, learning skills and values.
Here we encounter ourselves, others, society and nature in a deepening way.
The many themes and interests that are explored help us to discover a stronger self. ー Developing latent talents and abilities.
