The first Catholic eco-green nursery & primary school in Cameroon, uniting faith, ecology and academic excellence in Douala.
GSBF — Julia Greely & Pope Francis Eco-Green School is more than an academic institution. We are a vibrant bilingual community (French and English, 50/50) committed to raising children who are brilliant, compassionate and responsible stewards of Creation.
Rooted in Catholic spirituality and inspired by the ecological call of Pope Francis, our school embodies the values of faith, respect, ecology and innovation. Here, learning is not confined to classrooms: it flows into gardens, digital labs, and family life, ensuring children grow in knowledge, faith and care for the planet.
GSBF was founded with the conviction that every child deserves access to quality education that nurtures the mind, heart and soul. By combining Montessori methods, eco-spiritual practices and bilingual education, the founders sought to create a new model of learning for Cameroon and beyond.
“We believe education must not only teach children to read and count, but also to love, to protect, and to transform their communities.”
Our daily work is grounded in six values that define our approach to education, community and the environment.
Nurturing hearts in the Catholic tradition, centred on the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Teaching children to respect and care for the Earth through practical eco-actions.
Offering high-quality, bilingual education that fosters curiosity and creativity.
Integrating digital tools and new methods like Montessori and NLP to prepare children for the future.
Ensuring access to education through scholarships and social support.
Building strong bonds with families and society through initiatives, volunteering and shared projects.
Our mission is to educate children in an integrated way — intellectually, spiritually, socially and ecologically. We aim to form future leaders who combine knowledge with empathy, responsibility and faith.
Our vision is to be a model eco-green school in Africa, where education transforms lives and communities. We aspire to spread the Lu’Si pedagogical model across Cameroon and the continent, creating generations who protect the planet while living out strong moral and spiritual values.
The Lu’SiEduCare model blends international best practices with local realities. It integrates Montessori, bilingual immersion, emotional development and digital literacy.
Equal mastery of French and English from early childhood.
Learning by doing, respecting each child’s pace and potential.
Practical actions of care for Creation tied to faith and Laudato Si’.
Preparing students for the digital age with technology-based learning.
Using NLP and positive coaching to build confidence and empathy.
Combining academics, arts, ecology, faith and life skills into one integrated curriculum.
