Service Learning
We view our students as citizens in a diverse community and work to educate them about making responsible choices. We encourage them to explore the values, beliefs, and commitments that guide their actions. Our work with students builds on the Jesuit tradition of cura personalis – care of the whole person.
SFS-Qatar students are encouraged to take part in Service Learning Programs to put classroom learning into practical experience. In this program, students take field trips to different parts of the world to help communities in need, and give a real-world relevance to their course material. Students at Georgetown University in Qatar learn as they give back to the community.
