Our homegrown, comprehensive Green Studies curriculum evolves from ecology to sustainability while connecting students to our local geographic and cultural context and using a hands-on approach that allows students to \u2018get their hands dirty\u2019 and \u2018get mud between their toes,\u2019 while reinforcing the essential skills of reading, writing, maths and science.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The aims of our Green Studies curriculum are:<\/p>\n
\n- To nurture respect for the natural world;<\/li>\n
- To heighten students\u2019 environmental awareness and promote stewardship;<\/li>\n
- To develop deep ecological values;<\/li>\n
- To understand and practice permaculture as the harmonious integration of land and people to provide food, shelter, energy in a sustainable way;<\/li>\n
- To build awareness of and engagement with the many readily-accessible resources on our campus, including, but not limited to food gardens, aquatic systems, animal husbandry, and sustainable and renewable building materials, such as bamboo;<\/li>\n
- To understand sustainability and systems as a web of relationships interacting with communities \u2013 human and non-human \u2013 in ways that enable them to live and develop according to their nature;<\/li>\n
- To foster a love for learning about themselves, each other, and the wider world in ways that are respectful, have depth of understanding, and compassionate coexistence; and<\/li>\n
- To instill pride, responsibility and cooperation among students as lifelong learners and future leaders in the world<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
