During the 2006-2007 school year, Miami Douglas MacArthur Senior High South, with assistance from the Department of Secondary School Reform, envisions establishing a school-based Service Learning Academy.

Service Learning is teaching/learning method that connects meaningful community service experience with learning. The meaningful service will meet a real community need and the learning objectives and activities will be directly linked to specific Sunshine State Standards.

The combination of experiential learning and personal satisfaction that students gain from helping others makes Service Learning an effective teaching and learning tool.
