The community service program provides a student with opportunities to learn from others whose experiences differ from his own. This program differs in each grade level and consists of projects that bring students into direct contact with the people they serve. A sampling of community service activites follows. For a more detailed overview of the Upper School community service projects CLICK HERE . The ninth grade works at a food pantry; the tenth grade helps with homework and plays with children who reside at Kids In Crisis; eleventh graders tutor at a school in Stamford; and, the seniors read to children at an elementary school in town. Two aims of the community service program are to develop in students a desire toward personal sacrifice in service to others, and to encourage students to develop a commitment to helping those in need.

Additional community service opportunities are organized through the Key Club. Current community service options include working locally with children, the elderly, the homeless, health/disease related charities and several international aid projects. Students sign up to work on various projects and, after accumulating 10 hours of service, they become members of the Key Club.
