Community Service
SERVICE PROJECTS
At St. George’s, students learn beginning in our Early Childhood Department and all the way up to High School, that you don’t have to be an adult to make an adult-sized difference in the world.
Students have opportunities to discover their passions and put them into action. Community service is initiated by students, planned by students, and led by students. Faculty and staff support and encourage students to help the world in great ways keeping their own passions and interests in mind.
The High School LEADS program further develops student leadership and service and gives high school students additional outlets for initiating service projects.

Many projects are organized by individual classes, grade levels, clubs, and teams within the school, while some projects are presented as a school-wide opportunity.
