Green Sustainable Education

Program Philosophy and Mission

GSE is committed to providing an exemplary educational experience centered on innovation, natural resource conservation, social entrepreneurship, and economic sustainability. By partnering with students, the community, and the living biosphere, the Green Sustainable Education Program is devoted to creating a healthy and prosperous world for present and future generations. 

Student Learning Outcomes for this program are:

  • Compare and contrast the elements of conventional living versus sustainable living.
  • Compare and contrast various ways to save energy and water costs in your home and/or small business.
