Service Learning is an integral part of Higher Ground Academy’s philosophy of learning. We believe that the best evidence of learning can be found in the “doing”. Our 2006-2007 service learning goal is to enroll 100 middle and high school students in a year-long credited service learning course that engages older students as tutors of younger students in the core areas of mathematics, language arts and Arabic.

In addition to tutoring, students will plan a year-end Academic Olympics Project which will give the younger students an opportunity to demonstrate their academic achievements.
