Service as Action in MYP?

Service as Action in MYP is a foundational element of the MYP, embedding service learning into the curriculum. It requires students to take action through service, applying what they learn in the classroom to address community needs.

• Integration: Not a separate subject, but integrated across the curriculum and co-curricular activities.

• Requirements: Students must complete a meaningful balance of service experiences throughout the MYP, documented with reflections.

• Focus: Emphasizes the connection between service (the action) and personal growth, learning outcomes, and community impact (the reflection).

• Goal: To develop caring members of the community who make ethical choices and contribute positively.

Unlike the DP’s CAS,  Service as Action in MYP is more integrated into daily learning and less formally logged as discrete hours.
