Service Learning in Middle School: Years 7-11
Service learning is an educational approach that combines learning objectives with community service in order to provide a pragmatic, progressive learning experience while meeting societal needs.
The International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (IB MYP) encourages students to participate in service within their communities actively, and at BSJ, we take this commitment seriously. Through the BSJ ‘Service as Action’ programme, our students engage in community work during residential trips and through partnerships with local organisations.
During the third year of the MYP (MYP3) curriculum, our students undertake the community project, which focuses on service and encourages students to explore their rights and responsibilities in implementing action through service. This project provides students with an opportunity to develop an awareness of the needs of various communities and to address those needs through service learning.
The community project involves sustained, in-depth investigation, which leads to our students taking meaningful action to serve their community. Through this process, our students acquire crucial skills and experiences that prepare them to become responsible, active citizens of the world.
