our environmental mission
“In the end, we will conserve only what we love; we will love only what we understand; and we will understand only what we’ve been taught.”
Our Environmental Mission:
- Heighten students’ environmental awareness and to promote stewardship through developing ecological values out of first-hand experience.
- Modeling sustainable school practices such as:
respectful use of carefully sourced materials (for example: our website is hosted by a 100% carbon neutral business)
encouraging waste-free lunches
encouraging organic and local sourcing of products
use of green energy alternatives
- Understand sustainability as an entire web of relationships in community, interacting with other communities – human and non-human – in ways that enable them to live and develop according to their nature
- Collaborate with members of the school community and the wider community to attain our goals
- Work toward becoming a carbon-negative school
