Empower Dreams, Transform Lives on Vieques

Embarking on its second year since its establishment in 2022, The Green School, Vieques, thrives through the generous support of individuals like you, ensuring that the children on this small island (population 8,000) access education that aligns with the evolving needs of today's modern world.

Inspired Lifelong Learners

Beyond traditional classrooms, our after-school and bilingual elementary/middle school programs are dynamic incubators of inspiration. Our commitment extends to cultivating creativity, ingenuity, and adaptability in our youth, preparing them for the challenges of the future.

From Dream to Reality, Step by Step

The journey of founding a new educational program in Vieques, began in 2019 with a beachside summer camp, operated as a co-op by dedicated parents and volunteers. In 2022, family members donated the use of a downstairs studio apartment. This interim space enabled the launch of our early endeavors until the fortuitous acquisition of our current facility. Throughout 2022, we worked diligently to revitalize an abandoned building last used over 20 years ago as a school. In September 2023, we realized our goal of inaugurating a Youth Center, complete with a dedicated classroom, library, and outdoor theater—a testament to the unwavering support and resilience of our community.

Innovative Self-Directed Education

Our educational quests foster development through hands-on experiences, team-building, public speaking, innovation, and creative application. From engaging robotics workshops, to conceptualizing and creating their own board games; our learners end of year quest is managing their own business, where students conceive, budget, and execute ideas in a real marketplace, —each project is a progression in applied learning, nurturing practical skill sets for the real world. This innovative approach aims to shape young minds into capable, creative individuals.
