Commitment to Sustainability

HMA is committed to both modeling and teaching environmental sustainability. This begins with our campus design, which features solar panels and U/V filtered water to remove the need for water deliveries and the use of plastic bottles. It continues with an intentional campus culture of minimum waste and maximum reuse and recycling.  We also include activities such as yearly tree plantings and field trips to nature preserves and farms into our programming. 

Given Ethiopia’s large and growing population, rapid deforestation, and struggle to meet energy needs and create jobs, our students have already identified many problems—and solutions—connected to the environment and sustainability. HMA hopes to stand for the principle that academic excellence, environmental sustainability and student leadership and achievement go hand in hand.
