As a school, education is our first priority and our greatest strength. Ecological and social sustainability have been an important part of our teaching and learning ever since Paul Geheeb founded this school in 1934. In today’s environmental crisis it is more vital than ever that we learn about ecological issues so that the next generation will leave our school with a sense of care and responsibility for our planet and the people who live on it. We teach environmental education in every aspect of Ecole life from English to chemistry and from blacksmithing to hiking.

Working with the community around our school is a vital part of Ecole-Logical. We are cooperating with the Hasliberg Gemeinde on new alternative energy projects like wood heating and hydro power. We have also long had the policy of buying local food for our Esssaal, resulting in strong relationships with local producers and a smaller ecological footprint from our kitchen. We have much to learn from our neighbours and much to offer in return.
