Students and faculty work in a number of ways to make our community a greener place to live and learn – to put the 佛 in 佛得角谷学校 – by respecting the environment and being proactive in preserving it.
In our residential program, we focus on using less, and recycling and 堆肥 what we do use.
在学业上, VVS provides students with a solid foundation in the traditional sciences with an emphasis on the environment and the anthropogenic factors that affect our environment. 除了, we integrate long-term environmental research projects into the standard curriculum, and often they inform our sustainability strategy.
Our school garden is organic and ethically farmed, using compost harvested by students and incorporating 100% of our kitchen waste. An approved food source for our school dining hall, our garden program helps students understand the cycle of food waste, 堆肥, 种植和收获.
为他人服务
汉密尔顿沃伦 founded 佛得角谷学校 to teach “…the great responsibility for your fellow man. Respect his views; have concern for others.” Today students log thousands of hours supporting communities from Arizona to Mexico to Malawi. The principle is deeply rooted in our fabric and a part of our every day.
The critical skills and concrete tools of planning, 资金, executing and assessing projects, in conjunction with a relationship-centered, empathetic world view enables our students to serve more effectively, to create a new paradigm for giving, and to continue to positively shape the world of tomorrow. 为学校服务, the local community and the world is woven throughout most aspects of school life.

体力劳动的价值
Valuing physical labor has been an integral part of VVS from its inception. The school’s founders understood that involving students in building and maintaining their school not only empowers them, but also gives them a greater appreciation for the campus they helped to build and care for.
Many parts of the school were conceived, designed and built with the help of students throughout the years. Through the Work Jobs program the daily chores are completed by students as well, under the supervision of faculty members. Each summer alumni return to the school to work alongside students and faculty to improve buildings, 建立人行道, 和更多的.
