Student Services

All students age nine and older participate in "Student Services," a program of contribution to the operation and maintenance of the school. This not only helps the school run smoothly, it also helps the students gain a greater appreciation and responsibility for the work involved and gives them experience producing and exchanging as part of an organization.

Students spend some time each day (Middle School students participate for 45 minutes and Upper School students for 50 minutes) during the week helping out in a variety of areas—for example the dining room, the computer center, the classrooms, cleaning the building, or the library. Tasks range from simple jobs such as sweeping or filing to more challenging projects and/or community service. Service time is planned so as to avoid interference with the students' academic program.
