# Green School New Zealand Careers >
Green School New Zealand staff members become a part of a global network of Green Schools which share a common ethos, set of values and vision for the future. Green School New Zealand is an inspiring example of education for sustainability, preparing today’s students for a changing world. Each day the school lives out its core mission: ‘Thrive with purpose’. Green School New Zealand opened as a private school offering education for learners in years 1 –13, beginning in February of 2020. The school currently serves a total of 100 students and is expected to grow to 400 by 2026. We educate for sustainability through community-integrated, entrepreneurial learning, in a beautiful, natural environment. Our holistic, student-guided approach inspires and empowers us to be green leaders in this movement.
