An Ode to NatureGreen School , BaliGreen School Bali, one of the most amazing schoolson earth, is giving its students a relevant holisticand green education.The students come from all corners of the world, manyrelocating with their parents just for the experience ofattending. Amongst them, fully 20% are local Balinese kidsfunded by scholarships from generous donors, allowingthem to benefit from an international education andfacilitating the magic of Balinese culture to fully permeatethe education. The curriculum for younger children isinfluenced by the work of Rudolf Steiner, who pioneeredthe idea of holistic education. Older students have theopportunity to study for Cambridge IGCSE's and a plannedIB diploma/certificate course will take them to graduation.Green Studies, which focus on sustainability, and aquality Creative Arts program complement the academiccurriculum.The Green Studies programme includes topics like carbonfootprint analysis, water studies and even, organic farmingand gardening.Within the Creative Arts and physical educationprogrammes, students delve into yoga and batikpainting using natural dyes made from vegetation onsite, and martial arts, with the Balinese traditional art ofMepantingan being an important component. Students,aged between three and 15, learn by doing, with eachchild tending to their very own vegetable patch.And as part of that commitment to greening theenvironment, Green School is built entirely out of bamboo– even its blackboards, desks, chairs and lamps.Bamboo is the latest darling of eco-conscious architects,designers and manufacturers all over the world. Thedemand worldwide is high for bamboo for clothing, flooring,furniture and as building material.Bamboo’s environmental benefits arise largely out of itsability to grow and spread quickly – in some cases, onemeter a day – without the need for fertilizers, pesticidesor much water.Bamboo also reaches structural maturity in four to fiveyears and produces a crop each year (compared to 30to 50 years for most tropical hardwood trees), helping toimprove soil conditions and prevent erosion along the way.Bamboo is so fast-growing that it can yield 20 times moretimber than trees on the same area.Delivering a generation of global citizens who areknowledgeable about and inspired to take responsibility forthe sustainability of the world
