The German International School Chennai is a primary and secondary school in Palavakkam, Chennai, India.[1] The school was established in 2010.[2][3] The school is the first vegan school in India.
Curriculum
The school has kindergarten to Twelfth grade. The school has about 50 students and follows the Edexcel curriculum.[4]
Adopting vegan lifestyle
The school declared itself completely vegan from the academic year 2017–2018, serving the students only vegan food since then.[5] Until the middle of 2016, the school was serving animal products such as pork, chicken, beef, fish and cheese.[4][5] However, when the school began to shelter injured and abandoned animals, it decided to go vegan as it felt eating meat "was ethically not right."[5] In October 2016, the school officially decided to go vegan and starting serving vegan diet for all the three meals, viz. breakfast, lunch, and evening snack.[4] In December 2016, the school arranged for a vegan buffet, inviting parents and announcing the decision.[5] The school started baking its own bread and making its own mock meat and vegan cheese from cashews.[5]
In January 2017, the school was awarded the "Compassionate School Award" from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).[4]
