Why Have an Eco Friendly Classroom?

Few would dispute the importance of teaching children all about the environment, and about how to preserve it for the generations to come. But, if the classrooms in which the children are being taught don’t put the lessons into practice, opportunities for active learning could be lost.

This doesn’t happen in an eco classroom. Sustainable classrooms demonstrate a school’s commitment to the environment starts at home, and encourages pupils to become active citizens, aware of the impact they have on their surroundings. This is particularly true of outdoor classrooms, where children will feel much closer to the natural world they are learning about.

 

With schools inevitably needing to use heat, light, water and paper, an eco friendly classroom is a great starting point for reducing consumption. While teaching environmental issues and behaviour such as turning out lights are crucial, it’s only in an eco classroom that you can genuinely practice what you preach.

An eco classroom or outdoor classrooms can involve and inspire parents and the whole school community.

And whether you go for modular classrooms or a bespoke option, an eco classroom can have a very positive impact on a child’s education. Sustainable classrooms with more daylight, for example, have been proven to speed up learning in reading and maths.

 

But, with several suppliers of sustainable classrooms on the market, how can you be sure which one would suit your school best? With various outdoor classrooms, modular classrooms and more to pick from, the choices can seem bewildering.

Equally, with so many ‘sustainable’ products turning out not to be that ‘green’ after all, how can you be sure which sustainable classrooms on offer would give you a genuine eco classroom?

People come to us for an eco friendly classroom because of our inspirational designs and short lead times – we can often complete within days.

Our modular classrooms have sustainable cedar exteriors and optional plant covered roofs which make children want to come inside.
