Service-based Learning
Park Tudor encourages and supports opportunities for students to learn through service to others in their community, school, neighborhood and family. The service-based learning program at Park Tudor is an essential component of each student's personal development. Many students from Lower School to Upper School learn to recognize the needs of their community and find solutions that they can implement. In turn, many alumni have gone on to careers in service to others. While community service hours are not a requisite for graduation, the Global Scholars program does require 200 service hours for completion. The Class of 2009 contributed more than 19,300 hours of service.

Famous quotes containing the word learning:
“Ignorance of what real learning is, and a consequent suspicion of it; materialism, and a consequent intellectual laxity—both of these have done destructive work in the colleges.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
