Concept of Happiness through Design: Lumio School by EdDesign LLC, Cyprus
...

Green School Bali represents an innovative approach to education and sustainability. Founded in 2008 by John and Cynthia Hardy, this international school exemplifies "a bold experiment in sustainable living and innovative education." The campus features bamboo structures without traditional walls, arranged in a village-like configuration. The vision drew inspiration from environmentalist Alan Wagstaff's concept of an educational village where learning connects deeply to nature. The architectural design incorporates sustainable features including solar panels, rainwater harvesting systems, and composting infrastructure. The educational program spans preschool through 12th grade, conducted in English while adhering to Indonesia's national standards. The curriculum emphasizes environmental protection alongside traditional academics including mathematics, sciences, languages, arts, and athletics. Students participate in hands-on initiatives such as river cleanups, tree planting, organic farming, and renewable energy projects. Green School operates as part of an international movement, with sister institutions in New Zealand and South Africa. The approach prioritizes developing creativity, emotional intelligence, and social responsibility alongside academic achievement.
