Green School South Africa

About this program

Green School South Africa is the third campus in the global Green School network, following the founding school in Bali (2008) and New Zealand (2020). Opened in 2021, the school is located in the Western Cape at the foot of the Drakenstein mountains, surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty and indigenous plant life. The school's purpose is to educate for sustainability through community-integrated, entrepreneurial learning immersed in a natural environment. With a 1:10 teacher-to-learner ratio, Green School South Africa provides a personalized approach that meets each child where they are, inspiring and equipping young people to be green leaders. The bilingual campus operates in both English and Afrikaans, serving families seeking an alternative to traditional education. The school believes that preparing youth for the challenges of a changing world requires a completely different mindset and set of skills—and these are at the heart of a Green School education.
