Community Service

At ACS Athens we believe that giving service to others is an important element in the development of character.  All Academy students are encouraged to volunteer for school and/or community service during the school year. Students in grade 11 and 12 can register for the Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS) program offered through the IB Diploma program.  NHS members also offer their services to the community.  Students who participate in community service should document their work in their 10th grade and College Admissions portfolios, so that their participation can be noted in recommendation letters and applications.  House points are awarded to students who participate in community service activities.
