Service as Action

SA 

What is Service as Action?


​Service as Action (SA) is a requirement for the IB Middle Years Programme. The IB believes that action (learning by doing and experiencing) is key to the learning process and that through SA you'll become more confident, self-directed learners. 

SA also assists you in developing personal understandings, a sense of self, and your role and responsibilities in your communities. 

​There is no one-size fits all approach to SA. You may find yourself taking action by: 

​
 - feeling empathy towards others
​ - making small-scared changes to your behavior
 - undertaking large or more significant projects
 - acting on your own
 - acting collaboratively
 - taking physical action
 - suggesting modifications to an existing system to the benefit of all involved 
 - lobbying people in more influential positions to act 

​The opportunities for SA are endless. It's important for you to see SA as a way to invest in your own personal and academic growth.

This year, the MPHS SA Handbook can be found online. It's divided by sections and it's important that you read through each of the sections to assist you in your understanding of SA.
