Service Learning

Service is a foundational element of learning at ISHCMC. 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 of 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 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. Students develop a proposal for action to serve a need in the community.
