Welcome to our school “Green Initiative” webpages. These pages were created to inform all community members of past, on-going, and future actions taken to improve the environmental performance and eco-literacy of the French-American International School and International High School.

Our “Commitment & Initiatives” section offers an overview of current actions and long-term goals related to the school’s Green Initiative. “Events” presents up-coming and school-sponsored events related to the environment. The “Green Task Force” section introduces the group of administrators, faculty, parents, and students working to develop the Green Initiative, and gives you access to the meeting minutes. “Getting involved” provides all the necessary information for community members like you wishing to participate to these efforts. And finally, “Teaching Resources” is a place for faculty to find reliable information and educational resources to bring environmental issues into their classroom.
