Award-winning Green Preschools in Bali, Berkeley and Hong Kong were selected to explore the characteristics of Green Schools using measures developed by educators (Environmental Rating Scale for Sustainable Development in Early Childhood (ERS-SDEC)) and architects (simplified Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) development). Classrooms for 4- to 5-year-olds were systematically assessed over a 10-month period. A 35 years’ timeline of the Green School movement was produced. The Bronfenbrenner Ecological Theory has been used to frame and analyse this cross-national study. Results indicated striking similarities from both scales that the Green Preschool in Bali received the highest rating followed by Green Preschool in Berkeley and Hong Kong. Three distinct Green School characteristics were found to be: (a) holistic, (b) building and (c) curriculum. The schools’ green characteristics appeared to be influenced by cultures, city regulations and the external institutions that established the green awards.

Education for sustainability remains fragmented because human knowledge of green schools and sustainability is not enough. This chapter develops a model to help school leaders and the general public to understand the importance of building green schools and implementing sustainable practices. This model provides a general overview of how to integrate sustainability into school practices. Student awareness is the key of the model, which indicates that sustainability can be realized at school if students have stronger environmental awareness. School leaders' attitudes are very decisive at the beginning of a new program. Meanwhile, school leaders have to face social pressure, which would ease the program or make it difficult to be implemented. Last but not least, some potential impacts, such as funding issues, could impact the implementation of green school practices. The chapter ends in presenting recommendations for implementing green school practices based on the proposed model.
