SERVICE & COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

Thinking Global, Acting Local

Discover, Connect, Thrive 

At SCIS, Service & Community Engagement* is a meaningful expression of international mindedness. It reflects our mission by encouraging learners of all ages to actively contribute to their communities. Pathways for students, parents & families, and the wider community include curricular integration, school-provided experiences, and off-campus opportunities. Being mindful of both our intent and our impact is important. Ongoing reflection by everyone involved helps us learn and grow. 

* The term is itself such an opportunity to unite around a single cause despite the diversity standing between people and nations! Consequently, the right approach is perhaps not to pursue the real definition of global citizenship, but to never stop looking for it!” - International Youth White Paper – The Centre for Global Education - UNESCO 

Discover Connect Thrive

Student Video: Wilson

Take a moment to wonder... 
  • What does community engagement mean to everyone participating in this experience? 
  • What gifts are present in myself, others, and my surroundings?  
  • Why is connection important in communities? 
  • What factors contribute to thriving for me and my community? 
  • Which knowledge, skills, and dispositions can drive meaningful action?
