Service Projects

Education Beyond The Classroom

At Orion International Academy we believe that rigorous academics are only one part of a well-rounded student’s education. As a function of the student learning outcome called “Positive Influencer” the school promotes citizenship and community service through a required course called Global and Community Action. Each teacher acts as an advisor for specific grade levels to guide students in creating a community service project with a local organization such as an animal shelter, children’s hospital, food bank, or tutoring service. In addition, the students work towards an annual international service trip to a foreign country. In 2015-2016 the students went to Guatemala to help build houses poverty stricken communities. In March 2017, the students will go to China to support offering books to schools with limited resources.
