Wide Range of After-School Activities
From Kindergarten to High School, students enjoy various academic experiences, creative & performing arts pursuits, sports activities and enriching experiences as part of daily school life. Beyond the classroom, children also have multiple opportunities to gain essential 'soft' skills to help them flourish as well-rounded individuals who can dive into the unlimited boundaries of their talents.
Clubs, extra-curricular lessons and enrichment classes provide a world of fun and excitement, allowing participants to see the joy that can be found in their school environment. After-School Activities (ASAs) are offered to children in K2 to Grade 3, while clubs are offered to students in Grade 4 to Grade 12.
After-School Activities (ASAs)
After-School Activities offer a creative outlet for young students adapting to the school environment. They also develop the personal qualities, attitudes and skills that will complement the academic success of learners. Activities are regularly updated so that children are encouraged to apply their evolving competencies to new forms of learning.
After-School Activities (ASAs) and Extracurricular Activities (ECAs) are mainly run by school teachers. All learners are welcome to join as many activities as their timetable allows! During specialist-led classes, children explore their interests in a nurturing space and develop their artistic talents, social competencies and physical health.
By facilitating participation in dance, football, chess - and much more! - the overall school experience becomes expansive and endlessly enjoyable.
