OUR APPROACH: Learning from, about and with Mother Nature

• ​(Y)our dream school is an authentic EDUvillage: a natural area with green buildings, pedagogical farm and garden, pedagogical kitchen, sensory park, sports and  messy-play areas (including cli​mbing walls, skateboard and bike-cycle areas). Until the dream becomes reality, we are functioning in Cluj Napoca, on Aleea Bucura nr. 22, where walls are replaced by trees as children from 3 kindergarten groups  and 2 school classes are discovering the world of child-led learning and exploring the outdoors. 
• An Innovative Pedagogy: experience-based, most of the times outdoor, where children are learning on their own rhythm.
• A Training Centre for parents, educators (teachers, animators, youth workers, trainers) and youth interested in personal or professional development through nature.
• A Global Network: we collaborate with local, national and international partners (Green Schools, NGOs, Companies, Public Institutions, Research Institutes) to organize activities and events. 
• A Socially Inclusive School:  we learn responsibility, respect and appreciation towards nature and people while being organisationally responsible and considerate: we fight against Nature Deficit Disorder, offer scholarships for low-income students and open our doors and arms to everyone who wants the school to be a safe, free and friendly space.
• Green School does not work within the National Curriculum and does not use the authorization/accreditation from ARACIP. We are working on a strategic partnership project to recognize nature based pedagogy as educational alternative, that in the future will be recognized by the State. 

A Team passionate about learning, nature and education who is looking forward to offer the most suitable environment to learn about nature, from nature in nature for a happy and authentic childhood.
