By integrating community service into our curriculum, our provides students with a rich and transformative educational experience. Students graduate not only with academic knowledge and skills but also with a strong sense of social responsibility, a commitment to serving others, and a deeper understanding of themselves and their place in the world.

Community Service is not just an extracurricular activity, but an integral part of the Jesuit educational experience. The school’s commitment to fostering a sense of social responsibility and compassion in its students is rooted in the Jesuit tradition of forming “men and women for others.” This pedagogical approach, inspired by the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, emphasizes the importance of experiential learning, reflection, and action.

The Community Service program at our school is designed to encourage students to engage with the community, develop a sense of social awareness, and cultivate essential life skills such as leadership, communication, and teamwork. Through a variety of service projects, students connect with diverse groups of people, including the elderly, children, and those in need.

This educational approach is rooted in the Jesuit principle of “cura personalis,” which translates to “care for the whole person.” By engaging in community service, students develop a deeper understanding of themselves and gain insight into their role in the broader world.  Through these experiences, they come to realize their connections to a larger community, recognizing that they share common responsibilities and experiences with others. This involvement fosters a sense of empathy and social awareness, encouraging students to consider the impact of their actions on those around them. Ultimately, this holistic approach to education helps shape well-rounded individuals who are prepared to contribute positively to society.

The Community Service program embodies the Jesuit principle of “magis,” which emphasizes pursuing greater excellence and doing more for others. Through their involvement in various service activities, students are inspired to make a meaningful and positive impact in their communities. This program encourages them to set ambitious goals, take calculated risks, and step outside their comfort zones. By doing so, students not only contribute to the well-being of others but also embark on a journey of personal growth and self-discovery. The experience fosters a deep understanding of service and the importance of actively engaging with the world around them.

In addition, the program incorporates the Jesuit practice of “discernment,” which involves reflecting on experiences and decisions to discern their meaning and purpose. Through regular reflection and discussion, students can process their experiences, identify areas for growth, and develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their values.
