Sustainability

Equipping students with the knowledge, skills and attitudes for a sustainable future.

The Oxford International Curriculum for Sustainability provides a thorough, interdisciplinary approach to teaching sustainability that empowers students.

The uplifting and inspiring nature of the curriculum equips students to grapple with the challenges that characterize the shift toward sustainable living on planet Earth while strengthening their connections to their local community and to nature.

What does the Oxford International Curriculum for Sustainability offer you?

  • An interdisciplinary curriculum that integrates science, technology, engineering, the arts, and mathematics (STEAM), as well as other subjects such as English, humanities and social science.
  • Enquiry-based learning, which encourages students to make real-world connections.
  • Learner-centred instruction, which encourages students to take an active, engaged role in the learning process.
  • A project-based learning structure that encourages students to acquire a deeper knowledge through active exploration.
  • Place-based learning, which engages students in their community, including their physical environment, local history, people, or culture.
  • A coherent and age-appropriate curriculum, closely linked to the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) language ability levels and descriptors.
