Criteria for credit are determined by each activity's faculty advisor. We believe very strongly that participation in activities is an integral part of each student's education at Peddie. The Peddie School Work Program aims to develop a keener sense of responsibility in the Peddie community. By fostering the philosophy that the welfare of the whole depends on the contributions of the individual, the program strives to broaden each student's educational experience and create a more unified and involved school community. Each Peddie School student is required to contribute energy and time to the Work Program, in a job assigned by the Director of the Program.
Every student is assigned to a job for one term each academic year.
The jobs students perform are varied. Students work as assistants and messengers in campus offices, others monitor the Mariboe Art Gallery or work in the library, while others help in the kitchen or set tables for family style dinner. The Community Service Program is an organization dedicated to serving the surrounding community. Involved students visit the elderly or the incarcerated, help with food and clothing drives, tutor area school children and help out local charities as needed. The aims of the Community Service Program are to promote personal growth and to interact with the community by involving students in the lives of others less fortunate than they.
