The
Glenholme School prepares
students to understand the
social expectations as a
member of the community.
With community service learning
as an integral part of the
school's culture, Glenholme
enriches the academic content
and fosters the value of
caring
and service in students.
Students
regularly lead or participate
in community service activities
that allow them to experience
the diversity of life and
acquire a sense of the community
beyond the school's boundaries.
Individualized learning
approaches are applied to
hands-on service opportunities
that match each student's
skills and abilities.
The
goal of Devereux Glenholme's
Community Service Program
is to have students develop
those values and behaviors
of good citizenship and
prove to themselves and
their neighbors that they
can play an influential
role in shaping their community.
The
Devereux Glenholme Community
Service Program has been
nationally recognized and
selected as a "Teaching
Example" of the "Presidents'
Summit for America's Future."
Devereux Glenholme students
have participated in innovative
service learning activities
and have completed over
7,000 hours of community
service since 2000.
