This study aimed to examine the experiences of parents of elementary school students attending Daegu Future School, a type of innovative school in Daegu, through qualitative research. In order to achieve this, in-depth interviews were conducted with 10 parents of future school students. The research findings revealed that participants witnessed positive aspects such as the cultivation of a sense of community consciousness and the development of reflective self-awareness and healthy challenge towards others through their children's educational activities at the Future School. However, concerns were raised regarding the potential for Future School's educational activities, which emphasize leisurely self-directed inquiry rather than conventional entrance exam-focused education, to disadvantage children in future competitive entrance exams or to widen educational disparities based on students' academic abilities or family backgrounds. Additionally, doubts were raised about the long-term sustainability of Future Schools due to issues such as the mismatch between the operating cycle of educational activities and the personnel rotation cycle of teachers, as well as constraints on parental involvement in Future School operations. Based on these research findings, the necessity for reflection on the existential significance of both Future Schools themselves and the presence of parents within Future Schools, as well as the need to consider whether future schools are flowing into another form of standardized education, was discussed. Furthermore, implications for effective operation strategies of Future Schools were suggested.
