Educational programs
We offer a growing number of sustainability-oriented educational programs that are fully specialized.
Courses
A study we conducted in 2020 showed that our School had about 150 sustainability-related classes. In 2021, we sought input from our student community (in association with La Convergence) to find out what else we could offer.
