The Jubilee Institute has been awarded the Royal Marine Conservation Society’s Green Flag for the 10th consecutive year in appreciation of its innovative approach to education, which integrates learning with means of conserving the environment, like recycling, and the use of renewable energy.

Every year students from different grades come together to plant the school grounds with all types of trees; part of many pioneering projects they carry out is planting olive trees, for producing olive oil, in keeping with the institute’s philosophy of promoting students’ engagement in the environment and the community.
