Community Service

Concord Academy requires students to complete service hours to meet graduation requirements. There are many service opportunities that are built into the curriculum of the school that all students must participate in during the academic year. Our ability to match students’ interests/or “unique” abilities is an important consideration for students’ success.

Community Service programs and our “peer helper” programs emphasize the value and importance of service, offer students a chance to give of themselves, and to gain social experiences while discovering a sense of self-worth by helping others.  Students are offered the opportunity and encouraged to participate in school and local service projects to foster a sense of community and citizenship.  Examples of school-wide service projects include: sponsoring a “Fall Carnival” for the young children from several local schools and daycare programs; collecting canned food for a local church food pantry; and participating in recreational activities with nursing home residents.
