Antigua Green School – Innovating Education: Setting the Trend of Eco-Oriented Education in Guatemala
The world is changing — and without a doubt, education needs to transform to meet the needs of a changing world.
Re-orienting and revolutionising education towards ‘sustainability’ (or long-term regenerative growth and well-being) is one way that a few select schools around the world are transforming in order to adapt to the world of the 21st century and into the future.
Here in Guatemala, Antigua Green School is leading the way. Guided by a new and visionary leadership, this bilingual school focuses on cultivating an interdependent relationship with nature and on taking care of the planet through dynamic, experiential learning in the classroom, in the natural surroundings of Finca La Azotea, and beyond. Antigua Green School is innovating education with sustainability education that is progressive, intentional, student-centred, and context-specific.
With the primary objective of designing learning experiences that are truly and profoundly meaningful and relevant for the young people of today according to the principles of a fulfilling life and collaborative, self-driven, life-long learning, teachers guide students towards their own dreams and goals, whether academic, creative, or entrepreneurial. Unlike in most schools, the students firmly believe themselves to be successful because they’ve taken ownership of accomplishing their objectives, rather than competing amongst themselves to achieve targets imposed by others. Discovery, curiosity, inquiry, and innovation are central to the process of the meaningful learning that occurs every day at Antigua Green School.
Antigua Green School offers a unique educational experience that is meaningful not only to its students but also its international community of families — an intellectual, creative, engaged, multicultural, and world-loving community that prizes nature and well-being over competition and standardisation.
Classes are filling quickly for the 2020 academic year. We encourage you to schedule a prospective family tour today.
