AGC's mission is to empower children to become active global citizens by
positively impacting their community and the world beyond. AGC was
founded with an ardent commitment to environmental sustainability and is
internationally recognized for its model green school initiatives, including
daily organic breakfast and lunch, a 5 kW solar installation, a schoolyard
habitat and vegetable garden, rain barrels, composting, yoga, nutrition
education, a faculty wellness program, walking school bus and sustainability
curriculum. The most recent addition to the Academy for Global
Citizenship was a green roof coop, housing three rescued chickens, next to the
school�s wind turbine.
