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:
“I think it is better to show love by meeting needs than to keep telling my son that I love him. Right now he is learning to tie his shoes. He is old enough, so even though it’s hard for him, sometimes I insist. But once in a while when I see he’s tired I still do it for him, and I have noticed that while I am tying his shoe, he says, “I love you, Mommy.” When he says, “I love you,” I know that he knows that he is loved.”
—Anonymous Parent (20th century)
