The education offered at Green School Brazil is not intended to be of a formal nature. There are no diploma’s issued by Green School Brazil and it is not planned that there will be. We have no desire to be managed by any educational body along their requirements. We do issue certificates for participation and achievements.

Future Courses
A six week course will provide a large number of environmental activities that serve to expose international and Brazilian students to a greater awareness of purpose, entrepreneurship and their responsibility to the environment.
When describing the style of education we have in mind and the semester period of six weeks a friend said to me, “it sounds like you are offering a holiday with a purpose” and I immediately replied, “I think that should be our slogan!”. Green School is as much about fun and travel as it is about learning and experiencing a solution orientated life. Our success in not defined by the six weeks here as much what students are motivated to do after attending Green School. For this reason throughout the semester, we encourage leadership and personal development.
Six Weeks Semesters
What will Green School Brazil students learn in a six week semester?
We believe in learning together through working together – in other words, experiential education. Activities are divided into ‘legs’ however many activities will in the experience naturally cover more than one of these legs at the same time.
(A) Environmental Education and Action
(B) Entrepreneurship and Sustainability
(C) Leadership development
The mission of Green School Brazil, is that through group activities students will develop leadership and entrepreneurial skills that will enable them to successfully and sustainably implement their own projects in their own communities. We aim to turn enthusiasm and passion into practical sustainable results.
Environmental activities include mountain walks with naturalists and botanists to learn about natural medicines, visiting an artisanal dairy and making cheese, gathering honey from our own hives, participating in our own hydroponics installation and other organic farming techniques, alternative energy projects and water management, forestry (working with Ibama), learning visits to a neighbouring fish farms and artisanal dairy where we will learn how to make cheese, helping at ARC (our Animal Rescue Centre), mushroom farming, assisting at the Araucaria nursery on the farm, learning visits to nearby coffee plantation and a cachaça distillery!
Personal Growth, Leadership, Entrepreneurship and Sustainability – The mission of Green School Brazil, is that through group activities students will develop leadership skills that will enable them to successfully and sustainably implement their own projects in their own communities. We aim to turn enthusiasm and passion into practical sustainable projects.
Experiences & Travel – visiting Brazil’s Costa Verde (Green Coast) and nearby national parks and historic towns. We have a specific page to refer to on Green School Brazil travel. Travel events will be combined with environmental learning projects and activities. Experiencing Brazil’s rich culture in a way that includes digital photography, art, lapidary, ceramics, dance, music and food.
A full semester is six weeks – six weeks of learning, fun, adventure, camaraderie and travel!
A total number of students will start with 8 but in later phases this will increase substantially as our infrastructure and demand grows. We have accommodation for eight students 4 on the farm and 4 in town and the idea is that students will live for three weeks at the one and three weeks at the other. More accommodation is planned for 2027.
Every ‘semester’ aims to take a group of like-minded young people on a journey of discovery with others who seek to immerse themselves in a stimulating environment where education happens as a result of interaction through outdoor activities rather than within a classroom with textbooks.
