Mundo Verde Bilingual Public Charter School helps students become global stewards through a sustainability-driven, hands-on learning curriculum. The campus is a comprehensive learning tool where sustainability infuses into daily education. Designed to inspire curiosity and stewardship, the site transforms stormwater systems, energy-efficient features, and outdoor spaces into interactive lessons.
Pre-K students engage with water conservation, while older learners dive into renewable energy, food sustainability, and composting. The campus bridges nature and city life, featuring vibrant gardens for nutrition-based education and an underground cistern that conserves 300,000 gallons (1.1 million litres) of water annually. An energy monitoring system empowers students to track, analyze, and understand their environmental impact—turning data into discovery.
The campus integrates a renovated 1925 public school with La Casita, a LEED Platinum-certified annex for pre-K and kindergarten students. The historic building serving grades one through five, achieved LEED Gold certification, reinforcing the school’s commitment to environmental responsibility.
