Are students ready to inherit the Earth?
Our mission for over 15 years has been to prepare them. Now, it’s time to scale up and bring to life our most ambitious program.
The Eco-Designers Program is the first of its kind to be taught in public High Schools, blending principles of climate science, ecology, regenerative design, sociology and ethics for environmental sustainability.

Our Eco-Designer Method’s primary tool is permaculture, a design method & philosophy which integrates principles of ecology, design and ethics.  This interdisciplinary, project-based approach illuminates nature-inspired solutions that can prepare our students for an uncertain future. 
  • Customizable curriculum structured into years or semesters that may be licensed separately, allowing schools to tailor the program to their unique needs.

               Semester: Introduction to Climate Crisis & Design Solutions
               School year: Permaculture Fundamentals
               ​School year: Certification in Permaculture Design

  • Curricular offerings: Lesson plans, worksheets, handouts, and hands-on activities with rubrics for each unit.
  • Professional Learning & Coaching for teachers by our president and Founder Monica Ibacache.

Created by Monica Ibacache, Founder and president of Beyond Organic Design, our program offers schools the tools and resources they need to incorporate whole-systems thinking into their classrooms. For schools, this is a low-stakes, high-impact way to explore cutting-edge educational change.
