Dover Green Heart

Outdoor biodiversity classroom and research lab In July 2019, UWCSEA celebrated a hallmark commitment to sustainability education and the bio-diversity of Singapore, by breaking ground on our first green classroom, the Dover Green Heart. Five years in-the-making, the Dover Green Heart was borne out of the recognition that in our increasingly urban and technology-focused world, students are more separated from the natural world than ever before.
