The Green School creates a sustainable campus straddling both sides of the Ayung River in Sibang Kaja, Bali. The campus is situated in a lush jungle with native plants and trees along with sustainable organic gardens. The campus is powered by a number of alternative energy sources including bamboo sawdust hot water and cooking system and a hydro-powered vortex generator and solar panels. Campus buildings include: classrooms, gym, assembly spaces, classrooms, faculty housing, offices, cafes, and bathrooms. On the Green School campus are a range of inspiring architecturally significant spaces from large multi-storey communal spaces to much smaller classroom spaces. Bamboo is a local sustainable material used in innovative and experimental ways demonstrating its architectural possibilities. The result is a holistic green community with a strong educational mandate that seeks to inspire students to be more curious, more engaged and more passionate about our environment and our planet.
‘We 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's possibilities.’ (John and Cynthia Hardy)
