Community Service |
At the Overseas Family School, students of all grade levels,
provide support and outreach not only for each other, but to others
around the block and around the world.

Community service benefits students in many ways.
|
Develops a greater sense of social responsibility |
 |
Increases self-esteem |
 |
Fosters teambuilding skills |
 |
Raises social, environmental, and global consciousness |
 |
Strengthens interpersonal skills |
 |
Reinforces community ties |
 |
|
In recent years, students have planned projects to aid
victims of Mother Nature's destruction, as close as Taiwan and as
far away as Honduras, Turkey, and Mozambique. They regularly visit
and sponsor activities at a local Red Cross children's home. |
| They have put on fashion shows featuring recycled fashion.
They beautify local parks and beaches by picking up litter. Inside
the secondary school, there are peer tutors groups- students who assist
new students or students who are having difficulty with certain subjects. |

High School students participate in programs like peer counseling, Riding
for The Disabled, Zoo Helpers, Hydrotherapy, and charity run/walk events.
Community service creates meaning into a student's course of study and
life.
