Student life
After School Activities
LEARNING BEYOND THE ACADEMICS
We believe in offering students opportunities to explore their individual talents and discover new interests outside the regular school hours, so that they have a chance to shine in different ways.
ISG provides engaging activities and clubs tailored to meet the needs of each year group, all of them supporting and transmitting the school’s core values.
All activities nurture interpersonal relationships and a feeling of community, help students become more culturally aware, and foster concepts such as collaboration, cooperation, and teamwork.
All activities are run by professional and knowledgeable teachers and instructors. The After school program schedule varies from year to year, depending on interest.
Structure and Calendar
The Program is divided into three trimesters:
TRIMESTER 1: September 23th – December 9th
TRIMESTER 2: December 16th – March 17th
TRIMESTER 3: March 24th – June 2nd
Activities will run once or twice a week, from 3:45 pm to 4:45 pm (unless specified otherwise).
Every course must reach the minimum number of registrations to start. It is possible to enrol in courses which have been activated for the current year and which are not full. We will inform Parents in good time which courses have not been activated.
The Child Care Club (the extended day care service) for students from 2 to 7 years old is run from 3:20 pm to 5:20 pm and it is offered 5 days a week. It follows the school calendar. More information here below.
