Extracurricular activities are also a fantastic opportunity for college students to distinguish themselves on university applications and even future job applications, especially when they have taken an active role in organising and leading the activities themselves. For this reason, our students are encouraged to start clubs that reflect their personal interests and passions.
Growth and development
Research conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (US) has found that participation in extracurricular activities has a positive correlation to students’ test scores and expected educational goals.
These activities can boost your child’s academic development by teaching them invaluable life skills such as time management, prioritising and learning how to make long term commitments.
Express your Passion
Students enjoy a wide range of activities from team sports, music, science clubs and languages with a particular focus on French. These activities are carefully selected to give your child a wonderful balance to learning. They also develop relationship skills and raise self esteem. Students who may be struggling academically find their confidence boosted when they discover a new talent or skill!
