Beyond The Classrooms
Service Learning Clubs
At Disha Indian International School, we strongly believe that service learning clubs offer students a range of benefits that extend beyond the traditional academic curriculum. Here are some reasons why we consider service learning clubs to be a valuable part of a student’s educational experience:
- Firstly, service learning clubs foster social responsibility by encouraging students to participate in social and community service activities. This cultivates an awareness of the needs of their community and helps students develop a commitment to giving back.
- Secondly, these clubs build character by instilling important traits such as empathy, compassion, and perseverance, which are crucial for success in all areas of life and help students become well-rounded individuals.
- Thirdly, service learning clubs offer students opportunities to develop leadership skills, such as delegation, problem-solving, and communication, by taking on leadership roles.
- Fourthly, these clubs promote teamwork skills by requiring students to collaborate on projects, an important skill valued in all areas of life.
- Lastly, service learning clubs can enhance academic learning by enabling students to apply their knowledge and skills in real-world situations, deepening their understanding of academic concepts and developing practical skills that are essential for success in the workforce.
Overall, service learning clubs at DIIS play an essential role in developing socially responsible, well-rounded students, who are equipped with the skills and knowledge to make a positive impact in their communities and beyond.
