🌱 Welcome to The Sustainable School

 

We’re a school without walls, a movement to nurture future-ready kids through joyful, hands-on, story-rich STEAM learning to primary school children, inspiring creativity, curiosity, and care for our planet.

Founded by Alice Yu Yuebo, a PhD candidate at the University of Otago and passionate sustainability educator, we help kids explore big ideas like climate change and innovation through play and purpose.

Our vision is simple: to grow curious, creative, and conscious eco-leaders — wherever they live.

The Sustainable School collaborates with nonprofits, neighbourhood groups, and community organisations to bring hands-on learning to those who need it most. Check out:

💡 What We Do

 

During the pilot, children explore real-world themes through:

🌱 Nature-inspired science experiments

Every session helps our tamariki connect with science, creativity, and sustainability in everyday life.
