SABIS International School AlJada

The  landscape design strategy at the school was aimed at enhancing the learning environment within its schools. Recognizing the profound impact of nature on students' well-being and academic performance, the strategy fosters an immersive and inspiring setting that seamlessly blends the natural and built environment. 

The initiative emphasizes the incorporation of open green spaces, indigenous flora, and engaging natural elements throughout the school grounds. By transforming traditional concrete landscapes into vibrant, biodiverse environments, students are encouraged to connect with nature, fostering a sense of wonder, curiosity, and ecological awareness.

It capitalizes on the inherent potential of outdoor spaces to become dynamic extensions of the classroom. Nature-inspired learning zones, equipped with interactive installations, botanical gardens, and hands-on discovery areas, provide a stimulating environment for experiential learning. 

It prioritizes spaces that promote relaxation, mindfulness, and social interaction. By incorporating sustainable design practices, such as natural ventilation and optimal shading, the strategy ensures a comfortable and healthy environment for both students and staff.
