Why do you require Service Hours?

White House Academy is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that relies on volunteers to help provide essential manpower to carry out programs and initiatives. By participating in service activities, we belief our families and students develop a stronger connection to our school and community.

​

Each family is expected to contribute at least 10 hours or service each school year. To help fulfill that obligation, upon enrollment, families are assigned the following service opportunities:

​

• 2 days per year to help clean the school (2 hours)

• Family Day of service (2 hours)

​​

Families do have the option to buy out of these service hours at the price of $50 per hour. The money exchanged for service is used to hire someone to do that work instead.

​

​​Here are some examples of how you can serve at White House Academy:

• Listen to young students read

• Drive students for field trips

• Volunteer with the PVO

• Grade papers for a teacher

• Check students safely out after school

• Participate in a fundraising event

• Coordinate class history celebrations
