Community Service

Lending a Helping Hand

Our Philosophy: Mizzentop Day School's Community Service program is an essential part of the school's curriculum. This program instills a sense of civic-mindedness in our students, while acquainting them with the needs of their community and the larger issues facing society. An important part of a well-rounded life is teaching students to care about the world around them.

Our Program: Mizzentop students are caring human beings who understand that their talents and energy can make a difference in the world. Through a wide variety of good works, students learn the value of community service. By working together, students find their efforts can make a difference in their local community and the world around them.
