Student Life
Service Learning
Caring for a place and its people is part of growing up. Ozark students give time to the lake, the campus, and one another — and discover that small efforts add up.
Ways students serve
Service Crew
A student-led club that adopts a project each season — tending campus gardens, organizing supply drives, and welcoming new students.
Harbor Seminar service days
Several times a year, advisory groups set aside a morning to work on a shared service project together, building teamwork along the way.
Lake and campus stewardship
Students help care for the shoreline and grounds — clearing trails, planting native species, and learning why a healthy lake matters.
Stewardship of the lake
The campus sits beside a quiet harbor, and that nearness shapes how the school thinks about service. Students learn that the water, the woods, and the trails are shared by everyone — so taking care of them is a way of taking care of each other.
Service days are tied to the advisory program, where small groups plan, work, and reflect together. You can read more about that program in Academics.
