  • Providing the Foundation and Inspiration

    for the Service Learning program. Through curricular and extra-curricular initiatives, the program introduces and develops an understanding of the inter-relationships among all people: locally, regionally, and globally. As a result, students come away with a deep sense of responsibility to lead through service to others.

    All Academy students participate in individual and group volunteer service projects including, but not limited to, food and resource drives, on-site volunteer work, and student-sponsored and organized fundraisers.

    Senior School students must record 55 hours of service (independent of school-led initiatives) to graduate.*

    *Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the graduation requirement for Service Learning hours for the classes of 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 has been temporarily reduced to 25 hours. 

To be approved, a service project must meet the following criteria and indicators:
