Besides our regular school program, we offer our students extracurricular activities which allow them to develop skills in specific fields, give free rein to their creativity, enhance personal skills, and even discover new gifts.
Extracurricular activities contribute for educational attainment, for the children’s full development and for sustaining learning programs, while involving professionals from several fields such as dancing, music, acting, visual arts, yoga, sports, science, etc.
These recreational, cultural and sport activities are suited for the children’s age and respect their basic needs and their physical, moral, and emotional safety. They are designed as leisure time for the children, aiming to stimulate their development, and they are conducted in specific places which allow the children to develop autonomy and learn how to live together as a community.
Extracurricular activities are organised around 4 learning topics:
- Artistic and cultural education: dancing, acting, music, painting, sculpture, visual arts, cinema-photography, puppetry, manual arts, cake design, yoga, mandala, and chess.
- Science education: Sciences, Robotics.
- Physical education: Football, handball, basketball, body language, table tennis, skating, judo, karate, capoeira, and swimming.
- elcome and study: Welcome, help with homework and monitoring of study.
