What is Community-Based Learning (originally called “Intensives”)?
South Bay Prep students will have the opportunity to participate in two Community-Based Learning weeks each year. These learning opportunities may include community service projects, educational travel, an offsite project with one of our corporate partners (e.g., working in a medical research lab, shadowing a realtor), or participation in a seminar or workshop led by a parent or community/business volunteer. Seminars will be arranged based on student interest and the areas of expertise of our volunteers. Examples of possible seminar topics include: art history and appreciation at a museum, neuroanatomy in a pathology lab, computer animation techniques, quilting, marine biology, sailing, martial arts, robotics, and theater. If you know of a company that might wish to host our students for Community-Based Learning OR if you are interested in teaching a seminar during one of these periods, please contact us!
