While ample opportunities are offered to play, explore and have fun, The Deens Academy also strives to foster a sense of social responsibility in its students by encouraging them to view world problems in terms how they can contribute. We do this by involving our students in a series of community service projects – this sparks off a willingness in children to reach out and help others and think about the big picture. The goal of getting students to participate in outreach activities is to help them make the connection ‘from me to the world’ and see themselves as an intrinsic part of their community. Ultimately, our goal is to help our students be knowledgeable, responsible, socially skilled, healthy, caring, and contributing citizens of the world.
