Green School Bali is a wall-less campus in the heart of the jungle, where education is lived, not delivered. Sustainability is our operational floor: the way we care for resources day to day. But our true work is regeneration: restoring ecosystems, re-patterning relationships, and creating conditions for all life to thrive.
In this living curriculum, the humanities are not sidelined; they are indispensable. Regeneration is not only about soil, water, and energy, it is also about the stories we tell, the histories we inherit, the philosophies we live by, and the social structures we reproduce. Literature, history, and philosophy open spaces for students to question how humans came to live as if separate from the living world, and to imagine different futures grounded in reciprocity and participation.
Here, learning is woven with biomimicry for regenerative design, drawing principles from the natural world around us, while also challenging the symbolic and cultural systems that shape our ways of seeing and acting. In studying regeneration, students also study themselves: the myths, histories, and philosophies that shaped a world of separation, and the possibility of telling them otherwise.
Our invitation is bold: to educate young people who can hold complexity, critique power, and act regeneratively, not just as future professionals, but as present participants in the renewal of the world.
High School Humanities Educator
Role Description
The High School is a vibrant learning neighborhood of ~110 students across grades 9–12 within the wider Green School Bali community. Our teaching team works collaboratively to create learning experiences that are rigorous, joyful, and deeply connected to real-world challenges, always asking how we might contribute to the community (human and other-than-human)..
We are looking for a passionate High School Humanities educator who can bring the lens of history, literature, philosophy, and culture into conversations about regeneration. This role is about more than teaching texts or theories, it’s about helping students see how human stories, values, and systems shape our world, and how they might be reimagined in service of life.
Working in close collaboration with our dynamic High School team, the Humanities Educator designs learning that is integrated, project-based, community-connected, and grounded in regenerative practice. The role demands creativity, adaptability, and the ability to nurture diverse ways of knowing and learning.
To thrive in this role, you’ll bring both disciplinary depth and the imagination to cross boundaries, weaving humanities into dialogue with ecology, biomimicry, design, and lived community experience.
Position Criteria
- Lives and teaches from a regenerative worldview: sees learning as participation in living systems, not just the transfer of knowledge.
- Fluent across disciplines — especially in weaving humanities (history, literature, philosophy) with ecological and cultural regeneration.
- Skilled in designing learning that restores, re-patterns, and renews, whether through projects with community, biomimicry, or narrative reframing.
- Brings practice to the role: regeneration is not theory, but lived in daily choices, community engagement, and design of learning environments.
- Courageous in interrogating systems of power and reproduction, and in helping young people see where change must come.
- Relational by orientation, cultivating classrooms as living communities where difference is honored and collective agency is real.
- Reflective and growth-oriented, committed to learning from experience and open to the kind of challenges, uncertainties, and surprises that come with real change.
