This study is a case study to explore the operational status of the community linked education at the community linked innovation school, which has been designated and operated since 2021 as part of the Seoul-type innovation school. Through interviews with elementary school teachers working at the community linked innovation schools, the aspects, difficulties, and efforts to overcome the operation of the community linked innovation school were explored. As a result of the study, it was found that unit schools applied for community linked innovation schools for the purpose of further revitalizing the characteristics of existing school with an abundant budget. And they made changes in terms of member satisfaction or school-village cooperation through community linked education focusing on culture art and ecology. However, in the process of operating the community linked curriculum, there were difficulties such as teachers' lack of understanding of the village, lack of curriculum linkage, paradox of autonomy, continuity problems due to member replacement, difficulties in establishing governance, and lack of transportation. The aspect of overcoming these difficulties was different depending on the unit school. Based on the above research results, policy implications for more effective operation of the community linked innovation school and community linked education were presented.
