The IASA Community Service Program is

where our students broaden their excellence well beyond the school walls. IASA’s students have successfully extended their individual excellence into their community. This program is only a small taste of their commitment. 

Providing Help Where it is Needed

Community Service takes place each Tuesday afternoon throughout the school year. The Academy students work with immigrant children, the elderly, disabled veteran soldiers, and academically or physically challenged youngsters. Students can choose the activity in which they wish to volunteer, allowing them to relate to their work and enjoy it. They are trained for their specific service by the social worker who is part of the Academy's staff and the professional staff of the institution in which they work. 

Improving Ourselves at the Same Time

Community Service has become a tradition in the Academy and is highly esteemed by the professional service entities involved.  Each year, new institutions approach IASA for assistance from the students. 

Perhaps the greatest impact of this program is the personal satisfaction that the IASA students experience while helping others. The sensitivity that they develop to those who are different is an attribute that will accompany them for life.
