Community Service

The Belmont Hill School Community Service Program is twofold: it seeks to develop character in its students, that is, a sensitivity to those less fortunate as well as an appreciation of their own advantages; and, strives to help people in need by creating an atmosphere of awareness for the quality of life of others in our expanded communities.
