Presentation
At Phoenix Global Green School, our program is prioritizing activities through Play and encouraging the children's interests and initiated activities to develop learning.
Our curriculum is providing a complete set of activities with a balance between Child directed & initiated and Teacher directed & challenging activities, in a variety of interests centers, i.e. blocks, dramatic play, science/discovery, arts, library/quiet area, gardening, baking, etc.
We are focusing in facilitating learning in all developmental areas: cognitive, language, physical and social/emotional.
We also believe that every child is different and each develops at his or her own particular pace and, in order to respond to their uniqueness, we are offering a low teacher-student ratio.
Our purpose is to provide Excellence in the quality of Education for your child to experience a unique, familial, safe, supporting and stimulating multilingual environment and to focus on an environmental education & literacy.
A Green Environment and Teaching
Global Green Teaching
While our administration uses 100% recycled paper, we are also using eco-friendly cleaning products and supplies.
Our school material as well as our Teaching curriculum are conscientiously planned and set up in a manner so that children can learn more about their environment and already reduce their footprint impact. We are always looking for second hands material and if not, mostly wooden made or Eco-friendly toys and games. We are reusing for example cardboard, two sides of paper, old socks or plastic bottles or egg boxes parents give us to build up projects.
During Ecology, Gardening and Sciences classes and simply by playing in the garden, we are learning how to plant seeds, to take care of them, what they need to grow, observing them growing, observing our Fruit trees, making jam with the peaches, using our lemons for making lemonades or part of our salad dressing and observing Wildlife. This is always priceless to see children picking-up a fruit they have found in the garden to bring it to our cook to prepare it for all of us at Lunch time! Teachers are always looking for projects to reuse rolls of toilet paper, left over of paper, or packaging to create Art!!
Being green at PGGS is not only about reusing & recycling, it's about creating and being simply part of our way of life.
