The Oxford International Sustainability course is a year-on-year structured, comprehensive programme for 5-14-year-olds. It has been designed to inspire and educate about sustainable living on planet Earth, while also strengthening students' connections to their local community and to nature. Based on an international curriculum for sustainability, the Project Books provide an interdisciplinary approach integrating science, English, mathematics, and many other subjects. The project-based learning structure fosters deeper knowledge through active exploration, while place-based learning throughout the course engages students with their local community, physical environment, local history, people, and culture. This course is accessible for English as an Additional Language learners.

The Oxford International Sustainability Teacher's Guides offer comprehensive support for the Project Books with detailed lesson plans and innovative ideas for teaching. There is guidance on taking learning beyond the classroom and adapting topics for your local environment and community. Each activity to be assessed as part of student projects is identified. Differentiation activities and support is offered to cater to the needs of every student, and key vocabulary is highlighted at the beginning of every lesson. A key focus of the course is its interdisciplinary nature, integrating science, English, mathematics, and many other subjects within an international curriculum for sustainability. Texts and instructions for engaging classroom activities are provided within the lesson plans.
