Community Service
Our Community service gives students an opportunity to explore academic interests through a real world lense. If a child is intrigued when he or she learns about recycling in school, for example, they can pick up recyclables from local businesses and take them to a local recycling center to see the impact firsthand.
Green Chase community awareness cycle rally 2023-24
The MIS community kick-started its school year with a pledge to contribute, constructively and mindfully, to the world what we take from it, through an awareness rally to its extended local community. The entire Milton community, the adorable tiny tykes of Milton – as young as 6 years – to 19 year old teens to middle-aged parents and relatives, staff of Milton International School (Kelambakkam), and friends, neighbhours and relatives of parents and staff of Milton, who believe they can lead by example, arduously participated in the rally by cycling five kilometers, from Chenganmal bus stop to SSN College and wheeled back throughout, pledging and inspiring to salvage our earth. To a large extent our simple yet mindful everyday choices will overhaul the deteriorating condition of the earth salvaging the earth not only for us, but for the generations to come. Humans’ choices have changed, over the decades and humans have sadly been overlooking the assets earth has bestowed upon us and have been inanely vitiating the very resources humans need to sustain life on earth. To pique this consciousness, MIS contrived the plan for the ‘Green Chase’ awareness cycle rally for its extended community through its immediate community to make everyone understand that we stand as one in facing the consequences of our individual choices which is, inevitably, a collective choice. Green Chase community awareness cycle rally 2023-24 aimed to bring to light how, by embracing sustainable practices, the reduction of humans’ progressively excessive dependence on fossil fuels can help lower our carbon footprint is possible.
We’ve found that when students connect what they’re learning in school to issues that actually matters in real life, they throw themselves into learning. Research also back this up. Studies show that students who give back to the community perform better in school, particularly in subjects such as math, reading, and history. Furthermore, students who participate in community service are also more likely to graduate from high school.
students learn that the work they do can make a real impact in the world. By getting involved in community service at a young age, student benefits in a lot of ways like:
