At Willow we recognize the diverse county in which we live and acknowledge our place in the world community.
To learn more about this and be involved, our students take an active part in investigating and contributing to solutions that address community issues.
In addition to academic skills at this independent elementary and middle school, we build a strong sense of social and community responsibility and incorporate service into many student projects.
Willow students:
- visit nursing homes
- participate in beach clean-ups
- assist Habitat for Humanity
- educate others about environmental issues
- help individuals and groups in need
One of our projects is to maintain a spoil island Willow adopted in the Indian River Lagoon. The school is participating in the the 26th annual international coastal cleanup sponsored by the Ocean Conservancy this fall and will continue to restore the island to its original habitat over the academic year with frequent trips involving our independent elementary and middle school students.
Additionally, this school year the children have asked to help raise money to donate toward Leukemia research. Willow has partnered with The Lekemia and Lymphoma Society to help find a cure for this cancer.

At this independent elementary and middle school, we recognize the importance of developing a sense of caring about oneself but also about the community in which we live. By having the children visit local nursing homes, participate in beach clean-ups and remove trash and invasive species from our adopted barrier island, they feel proud about giving back. Our students also can see first hand the results of their efforts.
