Environmental Responsibility
Born in a land characterized by pristine natural beauty and supported by a resource- and tourism-based economy, Frontier Tutoring is committed to operating in a manner that minimizes our impact on the environment. As an education business, we also strive demonstrate the value of environmental responsibility to our students and customers through our actions. At Frontier Tutoring, working to achieve sustainability—for our business, our people, and our environment—is at the core of all we do.

Frontier Tutoring is the proud recipient of the Green Star Award for Commitment to Environmental Responsibility, which we earned in January 2010. We achieved Green Star certification by implementing these environmentally-focused changes throughout our business.
