Absolutely! Most of our student body participates in at least one extracurricular activity or teacher-led and student-led club at our school every year. But our answer to this is, “it always depends on the student.” We have high School students taking multiple AP courses and they participate in one to two clubs or more, but we also have middle or primary school students who take their required coursework and only have time to participate in one club.
Students are given the tools to learn and practice organization, time management, and work and study habits. But no two students are alike. It is more important to us that our students learn to take on only what they can handle, challenge themselves when appropriate, and learn when and if they need to turn their focus elsewhere. Many students may play a sport or participate in a club on campus but also engage in an activity outside of school such as instrumental music or martial arts. Our students learn to manage their time while exploring and enjoying their extracurricular interests and passions.
