Community Service

All students must complete 100 community service hours to graduate from Pine Castle Christian Academy. The Community Service requirement is meant to foster an ethic of volunteerism that is a part of everyday life where the volunteering is integrated and balanced with other obligations. Community service hours are defined as hours spent working for a non-profit group or organization that benefits the community. You cannot be paid or compensated for these hours in any way.
