LIFE AT NOMAFO

Life At NoMaFo

Living away from the normal flow of life, we are free to chose what we do.  As the sample schedule shows, days are full of a variety of activities.  We can also choose to have quiet, personal time to evaluate and just dream.

And when we are with others who are different from ourselves, our ideas and values expand.  We learn through enriching and expanding experiences.  

We gain self knowledge and self reliance as we discover that we can make changes that could affect the whole direction of our lives.

Along with the classes which you choose, there are activities both formal and those that happen spur of the moment.  Some students will want to explore the surrounding mountain areas, hiking or biking.  Others may want to take in the temples of Nagano or Togakushi.  

Students will also take part in daily routines of the school — cooking, cleaning, and planning.  At NoMaFo we all contribute to making things flow smoothly in this shared community.
