Vision
“Our shared vision is motivated by a deep concern for, and attention to, the wellbeing of our students and our planet.”
In May of 2021, Green Schools welcomed a new partnership with Education in Motion, a growing family of pioneering education brands. EiM began in 2003, when co-founders Fraser White and Karen Yung built their first school in Shanghai in order to provide the type of holistic education they wanted for their own children.
