EARTH Values
At Environmental Action through Research and Technology High (EARTH) School, our values guide every decision we make — from what we teach to how we build community. We believe that education should prepare students for shaping a better world.
Environmental Commitment
We don't just study the Earth — we care for it.
Our EcoSTEAM curriculum is rooted in a deep respect for the natural world. Students engage with real-world ecological challenges through hands-on, interdisciplinary projects that explore topics like climate change, sustainable design, and biodiversity.
Whether restoring a local habitat, designing solutions to reduce waste, or presenting research at community events, our students become environmental stewards in both thought and action.
We are proud to be a certified National Wildlife Federation Green Flag School, and we continue to measure our impact through meaningful, student-led change.

Social Justice Commitment
A just world starts with informed, empowered youth.
We believe that environmental education must go hand-in-hand with social justice. Our curriculum foregrounds equity, inclusion, and critical thinking, helping students explore the connections between environmental, economic, and social systems.
Students investigate questions like:
-
Who is most affected by pollution and climate change?
-
How can we design communities that are sustainable and equitable?
-
What role can young people play in shaping public policy and civic life?
Through dialogue, action, and reflection, we cultivate empathy, activism, and a commitment to justice - locally and globally.

Montessori
Self-directed. Purposeful. Whole-child focused.
As a Montessori high school, we believe in the power of student agency. Our learning environment supports independence, creativity, and responsibility through:
-
Mixed-age classrooms
-
Interdisciplinary project work
-
Mastery-based assessment
-
Real-world application through internships and community engagement
Students are viewed not just as learners, but as capable individuals with the power to direct their own education. With guidance from Montessori-trained educators, students build critical thinking skills, emotional resilience, and a lifelong love of learning.
Montessori at EARTH School is the foundation of how we nurture thoughtful, capable changemakers.
