Community Service

OUR MOTTO: UNDERSTANDING OURSELVES AND OUR COMMUNITY THROUGH SERVICE 

Community service at Colegio Maya is an extension of our mission to foster students' intellectual, social, emotional, and physical growth thereby enhancing our commitment to the development of the whole individual. We believe that community service can stimulate and enhance the educational experience and that it will, hopefully, encourage a lifelong service ethic.
