Nurturing the Roots of Sustainability: Empowering Students to Protect Our Planet

At Northview International, sustainability isn't just a buzzword - it's ingrained in every aspect of our school. We believe in taking a holistic approach to instilling environmental awareness, conservation, and sustainable practices in students from an early age. Our innovative American curriculum, combined with the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), equips our students with the knowledge and skills to become responsible global citizens. We will explore how our American curriculum empowers students to care for the planet and positively impact their communities.

The Role of Our American Curriculum

Our teachers use the IPC as a lesson framework, integrating topic-based learning with a focus on sustainability. By blending the IPC with the SDGs, we provide our students with a natural filter to approach their knowledge. It allows them to develop a deep understanding of global issues and empowers them to contribute solutions to real-world problems. Through the SDG Challenge Series, our students are encouraged to apply their knowledge, skills, and understanding to make a difference in climate action, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable development.

Fostering Environmental Awareness

One of the critical objectives of our American curriculum is to foster environmental awareness in our students. By understanding the interconnectedness of ecosystems and the impact of human activities on the environment, students can develop a sense of responsibility towards the planet. By engaging students in hands-on activities and field trips, we bring these concepts to life and encourage them to explore the natural world around them.

Cultivating Sustainable Practices

In addition to raising awareness, our curriculum aims to cultivate sustainable practices in students. Small actions can make a big difference, and by empowering students to make sustainable choices in their daily lives, we can create a collective impact. We teach students the importance of reducing their carbon footprint through waste reduction, recycling, and energy conservation lessons. We also encourage them to think critically about the products they consume and the impact of their choices on the environment. We want to create a generation of environmentally conscious individuals by instilling these values early on.

Offsetting Carbon Emissions for a Positive Impact

We invest in nature-based solutions worldwide through our parent company, Artemis Education, to offset our carbon emissions. At the heart of our educational philosophy lies the Artemis Promise — an unshakeable commitment to creating a healthier, more sustainable planet for future generations. As a school, our mission extends beyond imparting knowledge. We believe in preparing our students for life in the ever-evolving 21st century, a time when understanding the human impact on our planet is paramount.

Investing in the Planet: Our Partnership with Earthly

We've partnered with Earthly to invest in sustainable global projects, from forest protection and wildlife conservation to tree planting and mangrove regeneration. These initiatives offset our carbon emissions and support local communities and biodiversity. These solutions include forest protection, wildlife conservation, tree planting, and mangrove regeneration. By supporting projects like the Brazil Nut Concessions in the Amazon, we contribute to rainforest conservation and provide a sustainable market for forest Brazil nuts. Our investments not only reduce deforestation but also support the livelihoods of local communities.

Our Impact: A Snapshot

Through our partnership with Earthly, we've achieved significant milestones. We've planted 500 trees, removed 19809.19 tonnes of carbon, and supported an area of 24,968,658 square meters.

These figures are a testament to our commitment to the Artemis Promise and our mission to nurture the roots of sustainability, empowering our students to protect our planet. Learn more: Northview Carbon Impact
