Community Service
Community service is an integral part of a well-rounded education at The Palmas Academy. Students participate in various service projects annually, benefiting both the school and the community. These projects help students develop leadership skills and a global mindset. Service opportunities are announced, and students often develop and create their own projects.
If students wish to complete their service hours at a center not listed by the school, they must get approval from the Program Coordinator or the Secondary School Principal in advance.
