The Green School in Bali was conceived by its founders in 2006, and the school opened its doors in September 2008 with around 100 pupils and a tailor-made campus that had only recently emerged from the jungle and rice fields. Since then, it has grown both physically and in student numbers.
The Green School aims to turn its students into responsible global citizens. And while traditional subjects like math, language, social studies, science and the arts still remain the focus, students can also spread their entrepreneurial wings in courses like gourmet chocolate production, organic farming and new methods of sustainable building with bamboo.
The school enrolls students from both the local and global communities. Teachers are also from a wide spectrum of backgrounds, both Balinese and other cultures. The whole campus is a year-round community of summer camps and symposia. The campus hosts environmentalists and change-makers from all over the globe, giving students the opportunity to learn about the importance of respecting the planet year round.
The Green School is preparing students to be critical and creative thinkers who are confident to champion the sustainability of the world and its environment.
