Service Learning:

    1. Service

    2. Education

    3. Adventure

 

Paradigm Accelerated Charter School facilitates service learning trips seeking to:

  • motivate students to set high goals,
  • inspire students to make positive lifestyle choices,
  • orient students to a wide variety of career opportunities,
  • choose abstinence from drugs, alcohol, and pre-marital sex,
  • to serve others without expectation of return.

Special thanks to the many businesses who make these service learning trips possible through sponsoring PAS students.
