Our CP students launch The Village Grounds, then volunteer at AdventHealth
Friday morning smelled like fresh coffee. Students in our IB Career-related Programme (CP) officially launched The Village Grounds, the campus coffee shop they help run, and served a steady line of parents and staff in the courtyard.
Before PYP Chapel, our student baristas poured coffee, offered cream and flavors, rang up orders and kept the line moving. It was a busy first rush, and they handled it with smiles.
From the coffee counter to the hospital
After the morning rush, our CP students traded the coffee table for volunteer badges and headed to AdventHealth Celebration. They spent the rest of the day volunteering across the hospital, from helping customers in the gift shop to lending a hand at the pharmacy counter.
Real work, real learning
The Village Grounds is part of how our CP students build career skills: customer service, teamwork, handling payments and running a small business. Volunteering at AdventHealth adds another side of that learning: serving others in a real workplace and seeing careers in health care up close. Every cup also supports our school community.
The Village Grounds is open on school days at morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up. Parents and staff can order ahead in the Village Hub or stop by the counter. See the menu and hours.
