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.
