Service Learning at The Summit
“Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms.” 1 Peter 4:10
Inspired by our founders, the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, The Summit community has a long and remarkable heritage of serving others. We believe that education is incomplete without compassion and a commitment to action. This belief is brought to life through The Summit’s Service Learning program. Integrating meaningful community service with classroom instruction and reflection enriches the learning experience for our students, encourages a lifelong passion for serving others and strengthens communities - locally and globally.
Thriving programs in the Montessori, Lower School, Middle School and Upper School strive to meet authentic community needs as expressed by our partner organizations. We try hard not to “imagine” what people and organizations need, but to carefully listen and engage when there is a match with our students and program capabilities.
Our online Service Directory is a great place for students and families to start their search for relevant and age-appropriate service opportunities. We encourage the entire Summit community to join us as we put our “Faith in Action.”
"Good will alone is not enough, it must also be put into practice."
St. Julie Billart, founder Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur
