The basics of aesthetic and environmental education, its main goals and objectives are considered. The special attention is paid to the educational system of Germany. In order to study the correlation between the aesthetic and environmental components of the educational activities in the German society, the new models of classes that are  practiced in the country are given as an example. In view of the need to redefine and reform the aesthetic and environmental component of the educational system as a whole, the consideration of the foreign experience in Germany, one of the leading countries in the modern international arena for the implementation of environmental projects, is the way to address the issues of introducing new ways of education at the present stage. The sphere of culture is becoming the means of resolving technological, political and social problems. The authors conclude by paying attention to the fact that the German professors were the first to demonstrate the following: the correlation between the aesthetic and environmental components in the education system is not just the education of “good taste”, but also an adaptation tool. The moral orientation of the individual, which is formed in the course of aesthetic education, is one of the most essential elements of education.
