Schools discuss and investigate what aspects of school life they want to improve. Students write essays and poems describing their dream school, and may approach the topic from different perspectives, such as physical setting, curricula, teachers' profile, daily school schedule, behavioral rules, grading students, teacher-student formal and informal relationships, infrastructure, parental involvement, home-based school, out-of-class activities, local community involvement, school involvement in local community life, participation in the global classroom, etc. Students also make illustrations of their dream school , which will appear in a digital gallery on the Internet. A final event is a video conference of the participants organized by Teleclass Japan
