Sustainable practices have been implemented in our school since 2009, participating in actions concerning the protection of the environment.

The constant amelioration of the quality of our services and the support and improvement of our environmental consciousness was accredited this year, according to the demands of the EN ISO 9001:2015 and EN ISO 14001:2015 standards respectively by TÜV Austria.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Our School's philosophy regarding recycling is not only the application and increase of the number of recyclable materials but the economy of those that we use every day and burden the environment. Thus, we learn to minimize the consumption of products made from non-environmentally friendly materials, and at the same time, we emphasize the use of organics.

OUR MOTTO

“We give a second life to the materials we use’’

OUR ORIENTATION

Our orientation is a development that meets the needs of the present in such a way that future generations are not deprived of the opportunity to satisfy their own. A development synonymous with self-sufficiency is sought.

OUR AIM

The aim is to educate children in a way that they feel empowered to cause change. Participation in Social Sustainability actions becomes necessary because only cohesive societies can contribute to the protection of the environment.

OUR ACTIONS

• In 2009, a Sustainable School Committee was established and a Sustainable Management Plan was drawn up, which is still being implemented today.

• Sustainable practices are implemented by all staff and refined over the long term.

• The proposals for the actions are initiated by the children, transferred by the teachers to the councils, and all put under discussion until a mutually acceptable way of implementing the action is found.

• Constantly updated by experts and after a series of awards won over the years, a strong mobilization was given

• 2021 Acquisition EN ISO 9001:2015 and EN ISO 14001:2015 standards respectively by TÜV Austria.
