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:
“The first man to discover Chinook salmon in the Columbia, caught 264 in a day and carried them across the river by walking on the backs of other fish. His greatest feat, however, was learning the Chinook jargon in 15 minutes from listening to salmon talk.”
—State of Oregon, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
