Reflective. They give thoughtful consideration to their own learning and experience.

Service14 NSCS sees service as a key aspect of developing a virtuous citizen. We see combining classroom instruction with meaningful community service as a way to heighten a sense of community, civic engagement, and personal responsibility in our learners. Our service learning emphasizes critical thinking and personal reflection while encouraging a broad sense of community. In our elementary school, community service begins at the local level with events such as a Community Food Drive. During the middle school and early high school years, students from grades 6-10 are required to participate in a requisite number of service hours. Students are provided with service opportunities coordinated by staff (i.e. a project that supports the opening of Horsethief Reservoir or a service trip to Belize). The service aspect of the IB Program, the CAS (Creativity - Action- Service) Project expands on these initial community service opportunities provided in the early years. CAS requires students to understand their capacity to make meaningful contributions to their community and society. Through service, students develop and apply personal and social skills to real-life situations involving decision-making, problem solving, initiative, responsibility, and accountability. Physical wellness is the part of our character program that deals with developing long term soundness of body that is free of illness and pain. We feel fitness is critical to lifelong learning and encourage our students to learn these skills attitudes and habits. A physical education program ensures that NSCS students develop the coordination, motor skills, and overall fitness necessary to lead healthy and active lives. In elementary school, students participate in physical education activities, which will teach them good sportsmanship, team play, and that will translate into classroom and personal settings. In the middle school years, students begin formal health classes combined with physical education and are given the first opportunities to begin participating in NSCS sport programs like basketball, cross-country, volleyball, and track. Action is the part of the IB CAS project focused on getting involved in activities and sports that contributes to a healthy lifestyle. NSCS offers a solid program of athletics for a small high school and encourages students to participate in sports programs in their home high schools if we do not offer it. Participation in organized sports requires dedication, focus teamwork and leadership. 14 “Research on K-12 school-based service-learning”. ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. Phi Delta Kappan 81.9(2000): 658-664.
