CSR @ ASB High School

​The High School’s (HS) Community and Social Responsibility (CSR) program aims at creating “sustainable” and “authentic” service-based experiences for HS students in order for them to:

• Build a greater awareness of some the social and environmental issues (in and around Mumbai)
• Develop the agency, skills and attitudes needed to create positive change through transformative citizenship and “service.”

Service is broadly defined as the activities that students engage in to meet an authentic need of a community/NGO through their knowledge/ skills/ talents. In the process, students learn that it is possible for them to become citizens that don’t merely participate in society but can actually transform their communities and themselves by creating a positive impact.

Service at ASB HS is situated within the framework of action and reflection. In that context, CSR is designed, not to be a separate program, but one that feeds into and prepares for CAS (Creativity, Activity and Service) and GCD (Global Citizenship Diploma) program.

CSR is primarily driven through student-led CSR clubs in ASB HS. All students (Grade 9 - 12) seek membership to a CSR club of their choice during annual CSR fair. All the CSR work (grade 9 to 12) can feed into the community engagement piece of GCD. For grade 11 and 12 students, the contribution to the club feeds into the service component of CAS. It is a culminating experience which has been initiated by CSR from Early Childhood to 10th grade. By the time they reach the CAS program in 11th grade, students are involved in projects that they initiate and implement with a high level of independence. They must consult their CAS coordinator for the same. To learn more about our CSR clubs, please click here.

Apart from CSR clubs, there are various other opportunities for students to engage with service-related experiences such as:

• Yatra - All High School students also participate in at least two service-oriented Yatra trips during their HS tenure.
• Social Change Project - All 10th students undertake an individual PBL project led by Language Arts and Social Studies department.
• Summer Internships - Some interested students take upon independent summer internships with NGOs/Social organisations in consultation with CSR coordinator.
• Independent service project - Many students also undertake independent service projects above and beyond their participation in CSR clubs.
