Community Service at Park City Academy

Park City Academy believes it is as important to prepare our students for lives of good citizenship as it is to prepare them for the academic challenges of high school and beyond. We seek to develop the habit of community involvement, to awaken concern for those coping with hardship, and to encourage a sense of responsibility for our environment. We hope that a meaningful program of community service—both individually and in student groups—can raise social awareness, broaden outlooks, build conscience and maturity, and stimulate leadership values and skills.

At the Academy, we distinguish between community service-learning opportunities and "charity" by emphasizing the educational, person-to-person nature of service.
