Making a Difference In Our Community
At 3 Oaks Academy, service learning isn't just a requirement—it's a way of life. Our students develop empathy, leadership, and civic responsibility through hands-on community involvement.
More Than Academics
We don't just teach academics—we teach the whole child. Customer service, manners, looking someone in the eye when they say good morning to you—these skills matter.
We want our students to understand they're part of a community, and it's not just about them. That's why service learning isn't an add-on at 3 Oaks—it's woven into everything we do.
Service by the Numbers
Every full-time student commits to 42 hours of service learning annually. Together, we're building better communities.
Why Service Learning Matters
We believe education extends beyond the classroom. Through service, students discover their capacity to create positive change in the world around them.
Global Citizens
Students develop awareness of community needs and their role in addressing them, preparing them to be engaged citizens.
Leadership Skills
Real-world projects teach teamwork, communication, and problem-solving—skills that extend far beyond the classroom.
Empathy & Character
Serving others builds compassion, gratitude, and a deeper understanding of diverse perspectives and life experiences.
