SERVICE LEARNING
School Clubs and Activities
Service learning is defined by its unique approach to addressing genuine community needs and giving back to those communities nationally and internationally. Globally-minded and value-driven students are engaged with community outreach and service learning. These projects help students develop transcendent values of care, respect, responsibility, and courage.
ISB’s Service Learning program seeks to develop learners who are:
• Reflective thinkers who understand their strengths and limitations, who can identify goals, devise personal growth strategies and are willing to accept challenges
• Aware of themselves as members of communities with responsibilities towards each other and the environment
• Active participants in sustained, collaborative projects
• Balanced, who enjoy and find significance in various activities involving intellectual, physical, creative, and emotional experiences
International School Bangkok students are constantly engaged in community outreach & service learning activities. This past school year, ISB students spent a total of 7,400 hours in clubs, with 3,800 of those hours being spent on service-related activities and clubs. Of the 54 active student clubs in the 2021-22 school year, 30 were service clubs. Although some of our usual service activities were canceled due to COVID-19 regulations this year, several old and new activities took place.
