Mission for Sustainability

The Archer School for Girls is committed to meeting its existing needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.

Our innovative vision for a 21st-century institution examines present practices and creates long-term, sustainable solutions for the future. Central to this commitment is crafting enduring approaches to addressing important environmental and social concerns and ensuring that our graduates put these practices to use in their lives beyond Archer. We strive to use our resources efficiently, create a healthy school environment, foster an ecological curriculum, and educate members of the community to reduce our environmental footprint.
