Service Learning
ASW students learn to be responsible members of local, national and global communities by taking meaning action in their own lives and beyond. Service is integrated into the PYP, MYP and DP programmes, offering students ample opportunities to make their voices heard and take action on issues that matter to them and the community.
For example, elementary students look after a school garden or learn to construct bird boxes to support local wildlife through a classroom project. In the upper school, students join after-school clubs and activities related to service such as Refugee Club, Hand&Paw Club, or through student leadership. CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service) is an integral part of the IB DP and gives students even greater autonomy in crafting unique and sustainable projects.
We invite you to read stories from our Service Learning programs below, where you can see how our students engage in projects aiming to support our local community.
