Community Service
The commitment to social justice and service learning is an integral part of Marymount’s philosophy and mission and is infused throughout the curriculum. They seek to practice service learning in the way they treat one another in their school community as well as in the way they interact with their community at large. The Campus Ministry Team regularly organizes and advertises community service opportunities that are open to all students. In addition, each grade undertakes a significant service-learning project.
The focus in each grade builds a comprehensive program that takes a student through different levels of service, starting with a focus on the individual and the family in grade 9, coordinating a program-wide event in grade 10, gaining an understanding of how a service organization works in grade 11, and culminating in a focus on global human rights in grade 12.
