Sage Cottage Montessori School located in White Rock promotes sustainability in and out of the classroom. Outside the classroom the school strives to reduce their environmental impact by purchasing renewable energy from the Department of Public Utilities LA Green program and conserving water by partially closing sink inlets. A comprehensive recycling program that recycles paper, plastic, aluminum cans, cell phones and ink cartridges helps further reduce the school’s environmental impact.
In the classroom the teachers of Sage Montessori School teach their students to re-use or recycle materials whenever possible. These lessons are then demonstrated through the use of re-use materials in classroom projects and the use of corporate waste products their as learning tools made possible through their membership in UNM Wemagination Center. Their curriculum also includes solar energy, gardening, and composting projects.
