Service Learning
Service is a foundational element of learning at ISB. It is an essential part of being a caring, responsible member of the community. The concept of action, which is learning by doing and experiencing, is a fundamental part our programme. Through service learning, students develop and apply academic knowledge, personal skills, and social skills in real-life situations involving decision-making. Service-learning opportunities help students become well-rounded, internationally-minded individuals. The Service as Action program is an opportunity for students to take their learning beyond the classroom and apply it to real-world situations.
In the MYP community project, action involves a participation in service learning (service as action). As students evolve through the service learning process, they may engage in one or more types of action:
Direct service
Indirect service:
Advocacy:
