This specialized curriculum is designed to immerse students in sustainable practices and instill a sense of responsibility towards the environment. Through the green curriculum, students learn about topics such as renewable energy, biodiversity conservation, waste reduction, and climate change.
This remarkable achievement would not have been possible without the dedication and passion of TGSB’s exceptional team. Their tireless commitment to embodying the principles of the SDGs on a daily basis has been instrumental in this success. Moreover, the invaluable contribution of the school’s esteemed faculty, who have worked diligently to integrate these goals into the curriculum, cannot be overstated.With the International Green School Award 2023 in hand, The Green School Bangalore is more motivated than ever to continue its journey towards a greener and more sustainable future.
