Extracurricular activities

Beyond the classroom

We believe that learning goes beyond the classroom. The school offers many extracurricular activities for both primary and secondary school students. Our afterschool program caters to our younger students, while our Sports & Cultural Association helps our older students pursue their passions outside of class.

Extracurriculars for primary school

The School offers many extra-curricular activities within:

  • the Afterschool program (Monday to Friday) for students from MS to CM2 on the 3 sites
  • and the Sports Association (Wednesday) for CM1 and CM2 students (football / climbing).

Registrations to Afterschool and Sports Association activities are made via Eduka.

If you have any questions about accessing your Eduka account and how it works, check our wiki. You can also contact the pedagogical assistant for your child’s level and site.

Extracurricular activities for secondary school

At the secondary level, many extracurricular activities are organized by the school’s Sports & Cultural Association. These include coding, theater, yoga, photography, hip-hop, jazz dance, robotics, as well as sports (basketball, football, rock climbing, etc.). The range of activities is adjusted every year based on student choices and suggestions. In addition to these, the school has a vibrant Chess Club and a successful Debate Club that prepares teams for the Harvard Model United Nations or Harvard Model Congress Europe tournaments.
