Service Learning
Service Learning is an integral part of educational approach where students learn theories in the classroom and at the same time volunteer with non-profit organizations and engage in reflection activities to deepen their understanding of what is being taught.
STUDENTS' ACTIVITIES
The ancient Greeks believed that workout and music blended together. Taking the ancient Greeks as role models, the grade 6 /6ème students came together on Demonstration Day to showcase all that they had achieved in their interdisciplinary project “ Staying Fit. They exhibited their projects, created QR codes for the magazines they wrote and posted pictures of the Lebanese athletes they interviewed in school.
Not only did they dance, sing and eat Greek food, but they also donated the money they had raised in the Bike/Walk-A-Thon to the president of Dialeb, Mrs. Jackie Maalouf, in the presence of Nour. Prior to the Bike -A Thon, Nour gave her testimonial on living with diabetes. She was a source of inspiration to the students before the very successful Bike-A-Thon.

They performed, danced and exhibited their work for a gallery walk.
Today, during the NGO fair, Grade 11 students had the chance to meet with 13 NGOs, inquire about the nature of their work and choose the one they will be working with as part of their commitment to 15 hours of civic commitment.
