COMMUNITY SERVICE VISION

Part of the vision of Bishop Seabury Academy is “to promote a sense of responsibility for self and respect for others as members of the community.”  The Academy believes that community service is a crucial aspect of building this respect.  Service connects every student to the local and global community, engenders a greater sense of identity and integrity, and unifies the student body.  Furthermore, service projects introduce students to important social issues and give them the opportunity to participate and to create improvements in the greater society.  Ideally, this continued and consistent service obligation will generate in the student a positive orientation towards community involvement and a sense of civil responsibility.
