The purpose of this paper is to examine how a small municipality, which has a difficulty to earn enough budgets for public schools, practices curriculum management by looking at the case of Nishikawa town in Yamagata prefecture. The authors focused on three programs: integration of elementary school and junior high school , Furusato-gakko (community learning), and community school program. In Nishikawa town, the issue on aging population and low birth rate is urgent. People share the issue in mind. Because of the small number of children, there are only one elementary school and one junior high school, which enables good partnership between schools and school board. The small number of schools made it possible to concentrate resources and to manage schools flexibly. These backgrounds enabled the schools and school board to develop an unique curriculum management. Also, they did not directly reflect the needs from the community to educational activity or make student achievement an absolute must. Rather, they practiced curriculum management to cultivate “academic abilities to develop a village” in order that students will be able to get involved to Nishikawa town independently.
