GCS is #1 in Green Power for NYC

The EPA recently released its list of the largest green power users among K-12 school partners, and Grace Church School topped list of schools in New York City. Further, GCS currently ranks #12 in the nationwide ranking.

For nearly a decade, GCS has participated in programs that increase its use of renewable energy sources, including the EPA’s Green Power Partnership. Additionally, the school participates in energy curtailment programs during high volume periods to save energy and city usage. The school participates in the city recycling and composting program, in the interschool programs with the New York Association of Independent Schools and the Green Schools Alliance. GCS seeks to educate the community about behavioral changes that can impact energy use.

Notably, 100% of the 2.2 million kilowatts of energy the school used last year came from wind power. Relying on purely renewable energy to power the school is not only a reflection of the institution’s commitment to reducing its carbon footprint, but has also led to a significant decrease to how much is spent on purchasing energy.

The school's commitment to green power compliments a curriculum focused on the environment and energy in science classes, 7th and 9th grade sustainability classes, and high school lab day classes. The school’s kitchens have reduced energy use and earned a Green Restaurant Certification. In addition, the school has a high school service learning program that encourages students working on green projects to mentor younger community members in developing more sustainable habits.
