Student Activities

Student Activities are offered to Pre-K to Grade 5 students in our Primary School. These can include culture, crafts, performing arts, and sports. In Secondary School, our students participate in clubs, as well as performing arts and service, each helping them to develop interests and skills as well as find opportunities for student leadership and personal excellence.

Each activity is open to a specified range of grades and may vary year on year. Primary School activities run on 7-week cycles. Secondary activities will normally run either all year round or a part of the year in preparation for a performance or event. Take a look at our offerings!
