Sex and nudity in Greenhouse Academy

Minimal. Teen romantic relationships are depicted with hand-holding and kissing only — nothing beyond that across the entire four-season run. One of the safest shows in this library on this dimension. Fully appropriate from age 10 without parental concern.

Violence and gore in Greenhouse Academy

The Season 2 earthquake cliffhanger is the most intense single moment. Nothing graphic or disturbing across any season. Appropriate for ages 10+ who can handle mild action-thriller tension.
