Recent studies revealed that the most
important component in student

teachers.
With this in mind Green School will start

including certified Waldorf and Steiner
teachers and two PHD’s – one of which
is in Holistic Education. We have seven
holders of Masters Degrees, one MBA,
four holders of postgraduate teaching
qualifications and 17 Bachelor Degrees.
All 21 are qualified educators who are
also engineers, psychologists,
environmentalists, scientists, film, arts
and media people, who are choosing to
teach at Green School because they
are passionate about equipping
children with the skills they will need to
face the challenges of future.
