Local Experience

One of the vital aspects of Green School is its location. Nestled in the jungle of Bali,

Green School focuses its emphasis on learning locally to make a change for the better. Green

School embraces the ceremonies and festivals such as Saraswati Day, Nyepi and full moon

ceremonies. These experiences connect the population to the land and its heritage. We learn

to respect and appreciate the diversity of ageless society.
