Student Life

Service Learning Form

Siena provides first-hand experiences to make learning come alive. Siena students participate in school-based community service programs and also earn service-learning credit through independent work and internships. Siena students must earn 60 hours of service-learning to fulfill graduation requirements. Access the Siena Student Learning (SSL) Hours Form here.

Internships

Each year, Siena high school students undertake a two-week volunteer internship that provides them with a work-based learning experience, requiring them to apply their personal skills and interests to a professional environment. Learn more here.

College Counseling

Siena provides in-depth and individualized college advising. Our students explore a variety of colleges and universities that offer support for students with learning differences. Our goal is to assist each student in finding a good match with the proper support upon enrollment. Learn more here.
