Service at SJ
In accord with the Strake Jesuit philosophy of education which stresses student responsibility toward the larger community, each student participates in a service project. These service projects are an important part of the Strake Jesuit curriculum. Through them, students will have an opportunity to put into practice the attitudes of social justice and Christian concern that are fundamental to a Catholic, Jesuit education.
Freshmen, sophomores, and juniors participate in grade-level Service Days organized by the Pastoral Ministry Office. Seniors independently complete 75 service hours and participate in a Senior Service Reflection Day. As an integral part of the curriculum, service projects earn a grade and appear on a student’s official transcript. Additionally, students will complete various service reflections related to their service that are rooted in Jesuit philosophy, Ignatian values of spirituality and reflection, and the teachings of the Catholic Church.
