The project development school idea in Japan started in the late 1970s. Both public and private schools can become project schools. Public schools' districts and private schools' boards develop the project plan and submit the application to the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT). Once approved, the project school typically receives three years to install and execute the project. At the end of each school year, project schools are required to submit a progress report and a summary of project contents to the MEXT. By the end of the third year (i.e., the final year), schools also must submit a thorough self-assessment on the whole project. The project development school concept warrants further examination. In this article, two of the project development schools have provided information through phone and e-mail interviews concerning their "projects" and how they are incorporated into the school curricula.
