Inspiring students to a lifelong commitment to service

Reaching out to others is an essential part of a Saint George’s education. It begins in the Lower School, where our students learn sensitivity to others by reading to preschoolers or making Easter baskets that they give to children in a local homeless program. Starting in second grade, each Lower School class raises money to donate to a local charity that they collectively choose and visit. Middle School students reach out to the broader human community by raising funds to rebuild a tsunami-ravaged village in Sri Lanka, and the entire Middle School joins in a holiday service project in December. By the time students enter the Upper School, community service is both a habit and a formal requirement for graduation.
