What is Service?

Service is an activity that goes beyond ordinary school or family responsibilities, is performed without payment, and helps others. Service Learning is when service is an integral part of the learning and curriculum. While doing for others starts in elementary, our service program becomes more formalized in Middle and High School. Service at Canadian Academy is student-initiated, meaningful, and committed to providing continued support.
