JOHN & CYNTHIA HARDY, GREEN SCHOOL CO-FOUNDERS<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

Creativity often springs from the confluence of disparate ideas and events, and such was the case with Green School.<\/p>\n

Green School was conceived by its founders, John and Cynthia Hardy in 2006<\/a>, following their exit from their jewelry business. After years of homeschooling, the Hardys wanted their daughters to attend a \u2018real\u2019 school. John wanted the girls to attend a school that he believed in, a school that he would want to attend, and he wanted to stay in Bali.<\/p>\n

Then one day in 2006, John and Cynthia<\/a><\/strong> saw Al Gore\u2019s \u2018Inconvenient Truth\u2019 and it changed their life. They were compelled to take up his call to action.<\/p>\n

These events gave the Green School plan its reason and purpose, and in August 2006 John and Cynthia decided to build the school.<\/p>\n

The School\u2019s bamboo bridge, spanning 22 meters across the Ayung River, was completed in November 2006, creating a beautiful, strong symbol of the transition from the realm of idea to reality.<\/p>\n

Green School opened in September 2008 with 90 students and a tailor-made campus that emerged from the jungle and rice fields. Since then it has grown to 514 students and an inspiring example of education for sustainability and a beacon for the future of education, with a growing community of Green Schools opening around the world<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In May of 2021, Green Schools welcomed a new partnership with\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>Education in Motion<\/a><\/strong>,<\/strong> a growing family of pioneering education brands. EiM began in 2003, when co-founders Fraser White and Karen Yung built their first school in Shanghai in order to provide the type of holistic education they wanted for their own children, one that would prepare children for the future and empower them to make a positive difference in the world. Today, EiM schools worldwide, including Green Schools, nurture more than 11,000 students to have a positive impact on society and the\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>planet<\/strong><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are building Green School to create a new paradigm for learning. We want children to cultivate physical sensibilities that will enable them to adapt and be capable in the world. We want children to develop spiritual awareness and emotional intuition, and to encourage them to be in awe of life\u2019s possibilities.\u201d<\/strong><\/h6>\n

John Hardy<\/strong><\/a>, a Canadian art student who was as creative as he was intuitive, made his way to Bali in 1975. Intrigued by the Balinese craft traditions, he settled there and began producing jewellery with local artisans. Cynthia<\/strong>, an American who would years later become his wife and business partner, arrived in Bali in 1982, as a stopover on a round-the-world trip while she was considering attending law school at Berkeley.<\/p>\n

Cynthia stayed in Bali and started a small jewellery business of her own, which, owing to her talents in analysis and logistics, became successful in its own right. This right-brain, left-brain pair was destined for one another, and in 1989, their professional collaboration turned out to be magical.<\/p>\n

One of the keys to their success is that they have done well by doing good. From the beginning, John and Cynthia\u2019s approach to business was about making jewellery while being respectful to Bali\u2019s land, its environment, its people and its culture.<\/p>\n

It became their mission to share with others the educational benefits that they were fortunate enough to provide their children, and Green School is the realization of that vision.<\/p>\n
