Our commitment to providing a wide range of co-curricular and extra-curricular programs sets us apart. We believe that student learning should extend beyond the classroom, and we encourage the exploration of potential interests and passions. We provide opportunities for students to step out of their comfort zone and to challenge and extend themselves in new areas. In this way, we build their confidence through new life experiences and self-awareness, which is important for mental health and social connections.
FIND YOUR TRIBE
One of the greatest benefits of extra-curricular programs is that students learn more about themselves and are more readily able to 'find their tribe' of friends sharing similar interests. Our clubs and programs are extensive and designed to cater to a variety of student interests and abilities. There are opportunities to explore The Arts (Music, Visual Art, Performing Arts, Dance, and Media), a vast range of sports including European Handball, experiential Award Programs such as the Duke of Edinburgh, sustainability programs, entrepreneurial and leadership opportunities, academic clubs, STEM clubs and competitions such as the AI For Good Competition plus so many more.
