Learning for a sustainable future

Green School is an amazing project, pioneering sustainability within education. It is pushing boundaries in schooling at a time when the world must review whether more of the same is acceptable.

Its curriculum combines the academic rigour expected of schools and institutions of higher learning with hands-on experiential learning within a Green Studies curriculum and a Creative Arts curriculum.  This means that by holding onto the essential core subjects of English, Mathematics and Science, Green School students will have doors open to them for whichever kinds of further learning and careers that they choose.

International in its teaching and learning, and in its clientele, our students come from different corners of the world to join a core Balinese community of scholars – representing up to 20% of our enrolment.  They bring with them their learning to date to share with their friends and to contribute to a global awareness and perspective of social issues from their countries of origin.

“Fantastic.” – Walker Zabriskie and Wendy Kassel

It is preparing students to be critical and creative thinkers who are confident to champion the sustainability of the world and its environment. It is inspiring their thirst to know more, equipping them with appropriate and relevant knowledge, and nurturing their passion to influence change in the way we are managing this planet.

Learning to live in the real world

We don’t look like most people’s mental image of what a school is supposed to be. As a part of our commitment to sustainability, all of our structures are built primarily from bamboo, a local, natural, renewable resource.

Connected with nature

Being at one with nature – in these classrooms without walls – has a huge and positive impact on the learning process.  It positively affects the quality of relationships, the way that people conduct and behave with sensitity to each other, and it helps those youngsters who are easily distracted in conventional classrooms to focus much more easily on their tasks – there are plenty of distractions at Green School but they are natural distractions which are acceptable to, and not in conflict with concentration.

“I love to be a student again, it’s such an amazing school” – Chicco and Lahra Tatriele, Italy

Our location on a site in an undeveloped and natural area of gentle jungle, bissected by the Ayung River makes it an ideal place for students to connect with nature. The site is farmed and landscaped to make it productive while being safe and secure.

Bali, Indonesia

Bali is an international island within the archipelago of Indonesia.  It has a good international airport making it easily accessible within the region. Green School absorbs and respects the rich culture and customs of this island which is known for its inspirational creativity.
