Community schools were created as a system to enable stakeholders, such as parents of pupils and local residents, to participate in school management. This paper has the following objectives:
• To clarify the significance of community schools and their actual situation.
• To examine the outcomes of community schools from existing research, with a focus on children’s well-being.
• To examine the participation of pupils and students on school management councils, and to clarify the forms of their participation.
The Saitama City study found that community schools can have a positive transformative effect on children’s behavior and attitudes. It can also be pointed out that children’s participation on school management councils has the potential to capture well-being from the children’s perspective, which is different from that of adults and teachers, to pick up their opinions as educated people, and to function as a place for growth and training for children.
From the above data and examples, it can be said that community schools are an effective system for children’s well-being.
