How is this credit earned? |
|
We are looking for service that shares God's love with our community, local and abroad. Service can be done in many forms and in various ways, and, as we are all gifted in different ways, we want students to serve where they feel they can be most effective and useful. We ask that students accumulate 10 "credits" over the course of a school year. Some of these credits may be completed by participating in school-sponsored service and opportunities; we expect that each student's family will support them in completing the rest of them. Credits can also be earned through participation in spiritual formation activities such as attending church, Sunday School, and youth group. Participating in the local church means the opportunity for service in the broader community may be presented.
School-sponsored activities include highway cleanup, a trip to serve at Feed My Starving Children, a trip to the "Reality" conference (spiritual formation), and serving at school events. Other opportunities submitted by students this year include volunteering at the local non-profit thrift store, serving with A.W.A.N.A., teaching Sunday School, serving at "Everyone's Table", and other activities through the local churches. Any service opportunity outside of school needs to be approved by the Head of School using the Christian Service Credits submission form that can be downloaded from this page or picked up at school. |
