Service to the community is an integral component of the IB MYP program. Students are encouraged to achieve their best, both academically and as members of the global community. Service to the community helps to develop responsibility and pride, as well as a sense of individual competence.

Service to the community takes many forms. A student club can provide many opportunities for service, both on and off campus. Students may also earn service time through cultural organizations and other non-profit organizations. However, the following guidelines must be followed.

•       All service MUST BE PRE-APPROVED using the designated proposal form.

•       No compensation may be received for services.

•       All service must be for recognized non-profit organizations or non-governmental community-based organizations.

•       All service must benefit the general public.

•       A minimum of 20 hours must be earned each year.

•       Credit for no more than 5 on-campus service hours will be given. These hours must be for a structured and supervised event.

•       Logs of service completed must be maintained by the student and turned in for periodic checks.
