The Eco Club at Bishop's School, inaugurated on 10 July 2019, empowers students to participate and take up meaningful environmental activities and projects. The members of the club gather every first Monday of the month at 4 in Conference Hall. It is a forum through which students can reach out, influence, and engage their parents and neighborhood communities to promote sound environmental behavior. It empowers students to explore environmental concepts and actions beyond the confines of a syllabus or curriculum.

While everyone, everywhere, asserts the importance of 'learning to live sustainably,' environment remains a peripheral issue in the formal schooling system. The Bishop's School Eco Club tries to changes it, by making concern for environment a priority.
