There are existing projects around the world that have explored parts of this vision — especially in the areas of practical education,
ecological responsibility, student agency, and community life.
These examples are not models to copy wholesale, but points of reflection and inspiration:
A very interesting school in Russia - though I don't like everything about it (see some critcisms from European school students here):
"This is the basic foundation on which all methodological features of our work are designed. The whole purpose of our strategy is aiming at the following questions - Who are we human beings? What are we meant to be? What is the world around us? Who are we to the World? And what is the World to us? "
M.P. Shchetinin, director of the Tekos School in Russia

readily available, natural materials.
It kind of brings together a lot of ideas of Permaculture....
