The programme provides a student-participatory approach to face local problems that stem from ignorance and have roots in poverty. Bridging the school with the local community, Social Action Program (SAP) aims to inspire students with keen awareness on problems that threaten our community as well as to equip them with necessary tools to deal with challenges they may face. Through practices, SAP integrates EIU into curriculum that emphasizes maintaining peace and harmony among different folds of religions, ethnicity, and sects, dissipating the elements of hate and intolerance. The major areas of concern are Literacy for All, Sustainable Development, Cultural Diversity, and Peace Education.
