Imagine an entire school built in bamboo<\/strong> with no walls, no grades, a river to swim in and a garden to get your hands dirty, all of this set in the middle of a lush tropical jungle. No, it\u2019s not a pipe dream but the living reality for the 300 students attending Green School<\/a> in Bali<\/strong>. If like me, you\u2019ve remained a kid at heart, then you are going to love the tours organised by Green School and get the chance to go back to school without the homework!<\/p>\n

\"Green<\/p>\n

It all began in 2006, when John and Cynthia Hardy decided to exit the jewelry business and launch the Green School project: a school that would inspire students in becoming global citizens. Green School\u2019s alternative curriculum<\/strong> is based on the Three Frame Day<\/strong> and integrates green studies with core subjects. This is approached through encouraging students in developing hands-on projects outside the classroom<\/strong>. The most successful one to this date is Bye Bye Plastic Bags<\/a><\/strong>, a campaign created by two sisters to ban the use of plastic bags in Bali. In all, a holistic learning environment to inspire students to become creative innovative green leaders<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Green<\/p>\n

Green School is in itself sustainable<\/strong> since the entire Campus, from its foundations, all the way to the furniture and even the bolts, are all made of bamboo. And it doesn\u2019t stop there: the food comes from their organic garden<\/strong>; solar panels<\/strong> and the vortex<\/strong> – a hydro powered turbine – generate almost 90% of its energy.<\/p>\n

You probably guessed it but all of this comes at a price. Annual tuition fees range from US$6,000 to US$14,000, thereby affecting the number of Balinese students – who attend Green School through their Balinese scholarship fund – to just a little over 10%.<\/p>\n

Just behind Green School lies Ibuku<\/a>, a sustainable bamboo construction company<\/strong> headed by Elora Hardy (daughter of one the founders of Green School) So why bamboo?<\/strong> Because it\u2019s one of the most renewable material<\/strong>, it grows quickly<\/strong> (3 to 4 years), is a strong building material<\/strong> with strength-to-weight ratio of steel and has more than 1450 varieties<\/strong> to choose from.<\/p>\n

Several bamboo homes at Green Village<\/strong><\/a> are available for rent (from US$230 to US$700 per night). We\u2019ve visited some of these unique homes and we can guarantee you\u2019ll never want to leave. See for yourselves!<\/p>\n

If you\u2019d like to check-it out, then we recommend you book a tour or a workshop here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Open days 23 October, 20 November and 11 December (enquiries admissions@greenschool.org<\/a>). If you are an international student, you may need to apply for a student visa<\/a> before you can study in Indonesia.<\/p>\n
