Green School International is a global network of schools that provides a holistic, nature-immersed education designed to raise changemakers. The network operates schools in Bali, New Zealand, and South Africa, all united by a mission to foster sustainability and purpose-driven inquiry.

Teaching approach

The school is dedicated to creating a global community of learners focused on making the world sustainable. It champions a holistic model of education that nurtures the whole child, emphasizing community-integrated, entrepreneurial learning. The philosophy prioritizes the wellbeing of both students and the planet, moving away from traditional industrial-era education systems toward learning that addresses the needs of the present and future.

Programmes

The network offers education for students ranging from ages 3 to 18, depending on the specific location. The curriculum is described as a 'living' model that educates for sustainability through entrepreneurial and community-integrated learning. The academic approach emphasizes inquiry-based education that prepares students for the future rather than focusing solely on traditional exam-based outcomes.

Outcomes

The school aims to nurture changemakers who possess the agency to thrive with purpose in an ever-changing world. Graduates are prepared to be leaders who demonstrate core values of success and contribute to positive societal and planetary impact. The educational approach focuses on creating generational change through the knowledge, skills, and values shared within the school community.

About the campus

The school network features campuses designed to be nature-immersed and sustainable, including a wall-less bamboo campus in Bali and a site in South Africa built to world-class sustainability standards. Facilities are integrated with their natural surroundings, such as the New Zealand campus located between Mt Taranaki and the Tasman Sea. The campuses incorporate renewable energy technology, such as solar panels, to power operations.

Co-curriculars

The school engages students in hands-on environmental and community-based projects. Examples of these activities include planting trees to boost biodiversity, restoring aquatic ecosystems, collecting and recycling waste, and participating in sustainable transport initiatives like the BioBus.
