Sustainability Vision Statement 

Greensboro Day School recognizes that the health and well-being of the planet and all forms of life within it depend on a relationship of mutual enhancement between the human community and the natural world. Our program, facilities, and operations will embrace this vision.

To guide our endeavors we ask ourselves the following questions when considering how to teach our students to think, feel, and act with regard for the earth:

THINK Do we integrate questions about the human/earth relationship into our academic studies in every discipline?

FEEL Do we develop inner capacities of compassion and empathy toward the earth and its diverse communities?

ACT Do we create and nurture practices that integrate a concern for the earth into our goals and actions?
