Guiding Principles:

When making a decision, all things being “equal’, we will choose the more

environmentally-responsible option.

We will apply what we learn, about conducting business in a sustainable

manner, to educate & empower our staff & students to make their own

environmentally-responsible decisions.

Vision:

Carbon neutral. Zero landfill. Socially responsible.

Ecologically sustainable
