Facilities
The Parents and Toddlers groups and Nursery classes are Montessori based. Facilities for the older pupils include a multi-purpose sports court for tennis and basketball, a music room, science laboratories and a sports field.
Greenfields has an extensive English as a Foreign Language programme and after they have graduated from EFL, students continue with the Cambridge English Programme to gain certification in the First Certificate in English, followed by the Cambridge Advanced Certificate in English and finally in the Proficiency in English examination, recognised world-wide.
There are over fifteen clubs and societies ranging from cooking and camping clubs in the Lower School to a choir and Book Club in the Upper School. Drama clubs, a film school and a Young Writers Group are among the many activities which take place on a regular basis, indicating the schools leaning towards the Arts. Greenfields has a unique extra-curricular activity in the form of the Sussex Rock School. Local professional musicians provide individual tuition to students, who often form up into bands or groups during the year.
The school attributes its success to it utilisation of the discoveries about studying and learning made by Educator and humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard. From his investigation into how people learn and the difficulties they encounter in the process he developed methods known as Study Technology, the first subject which actually teaches one how to learn. Study of this gives the opportunity to be confident in that it is possible to pick up and study any subject and be able to apply that knowledge straight away. Greenfields students have that opportunity.
