MM Sharing & Learning?
Mind Mingle Sharing & Learning is a movement initiated by Mind Mingle team for creating opportunities for school leaders to learn the best educational practices from the most creative & top schools in India & abroad through practical school visits, workshops and group discussions. More than two hundred schools have been benefitted from this initiative. We believe that if every school starts to share its best practices with other schools, it will certainly bring an immense change and make every school equally good. The programs of Sharing & Learning have successfully been conducted in India and every school that participated got benefited. When it comes to take this initiative to the International level, it should be no less than the most creative School in the world to learn from.
“Greenest school on the earth”
“Imagine a School where students attend a class inside a huge Bamboo and straw Hut. Bamboo buildings and rambling jungle, Whiteboards consist of recycled car windows and power is partly supplied by solar panels and an intermittently operational hydroelectric 'vortex. The curriculum covers mathematics, science, languages and other general subjects and places an emphasis on teaching students the importance of being environmentally conscious and living sustainably.”
Welcome to Green School Bali, one of the most unique international schools on the planet. Green School serves an inter-national population of 300 students from 55 countries in Pre-K through grade 12, with boarding available for Grade 6 and up.
