What Is Social Work?

Social work is a helping profession; the main goal of social work is to improve a society’s overall well-being, especially for the most vulnerable populations. So we can see that Social work is a type of community service.

An integral part of school life at BIS is community service which helps shape well-rounded individuals like nothing else can. It is the most important way in which our students learn to look beyond themselves, to develop the capacity for empathy, acceptance and grace, and to take an active role in positively shaping their community. Our students participate in service-related activities in a variety of ways, all of which are age-appropriate.
