Community Service

The children are encouraged to find their identity within the community. This begins in the nursery and continues throughout the grades with their participation in the practical chores of cleaning their classrooms. Such activity awakens the child to the consequences of his or her actions in the clearest way. School-wide food, clothing, and book drives also engage student activity in service to the wider community, though indirectly. In this spirit a new event, the school-wide Knit-a-thon, has evolved that produces beautiful, hand-knit blankets for donation to a local nursing home.

By the time the child is in the sixth grade, he or she takes on the responsibility of directing community awareness towards helping others. Sixth graders work within the school, serving lunch to the lower grades, and tutoring younger children in reading and recorder playing.
