Environmental sustainability

Aiming to enable its students to acquire the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values necessary to shape a sustainable future on both the environmental and socioeconomic levels, Education for Sustainable Development has become an integral part of IC’s quality education, with a growing recognition of the importance of mainstreaming it in the teaching programs and curricula, as well as in the school’s strategies and plans.

At IC, our pledge is to empower learners of today to become the global citizen leaders of tomorrow, leaders who act responsibly based on the understanding that what they do today can have implications on the lives of people and the planet in future. That’s why we strive to empower our learners to change the way they think and work towards a sustainable future through a continuous education process that would engage youth and adults in the cause.

IC’s sustainability vision is to position the school as a leading territorial actor for sustainable development. To achieve this vision, IC’s environmental sustainability mission is to:

• Educate the school community - youth and adults - about the principles and challenges of environmental sustainability
• Spread good environmental practices within and outside the school (awareness)
• Work for an environmentally friendly infrastructure within the school.
