Service Learning Program

Service Learning Program at Escola Americana

Escola Americana has embarked on a new educational project: the creation of a K-12 Service Learning program. Schools around the world have used Service Learning programs to create meaningful, educative experiences with and for their students. While Service Learning involves community service, it is different from community service in that it requires all work and experiences to be directly tied to the school’s curriculum. The three major elements that define service learning are:

Students, teachers, and community partners develop learning objectives that meet educational standards and address the change in knowledge, skills, and attitudes they expect to see as a result of the service project.
The project addresses a real community need and is linked to learning objectives.
Students have an opportunity to reflect on and learn from their project before, during and after their service.
