Service Learning
Aby Carroll, '13
"From collecting pennies in kindergarten to traveling to Costa Rica during the summer before my senior year, Ensworth has taught me to always put others before myself, and help in whatever ways I can."
Ensworth students are more than scholars, artists, and athletes; they are courageous and compassionate global citizens. Service Learning is part of our core curriculum throughout Grades K-12. As students experience the joy of impacting the world around them in meaningful ways, they develop empathy and discover their ability to make a positive difference.
