Community Service

What is community and service?

As an MYP school, we ask students to take an active role in their community, there by encouraging responsible citizenship. IB learners strive to be caring members of the community who demonstrate a commitment to service—making a positive difference to the lives of others and the environment. Students are encouraged to participate in service both inside and outside of school.  ​
