It’s important for parents to understand the many ways that primary, middle school and high school extracurricular activities benefit students at BASIS International School.
Academics only constitutes a part of your child’s education. To provide the student with the freedom to discover and develop their passions and interests they need to be exposed to a wide variety of activities, both in the classroom and out. Filling the student’s day with a wealth of educational opportunities also helps them develop organizational and time management skills.
Extracurricular Activities Offer a Wealth of Benefits
The classroom, sports, fine arts, STEM, and special interest activities at BASIS International School are designed to provide our students with many opportunities to develop their interests and expose them to new ideas and different ways to reason and problem-solve.
Our international school in Thailand has a wide variety of activities to help your child find their interest and passions and provide the means to follow and develop them.
Sports teams and activities help them develop their physical strength, coordination and endurance. They also teach them to be unafraid to push themselves and test the limits of their physical capabilities. Group activities teach them the value of leadership, teamwork and collaboration. STEM clubs and activities offer the opportunity to apply the classroom skills they’ve learned conceptually to real-world scenarios. Fine arts activities invite the students to explore their creative sides, express themselves in new and non-verbal ways, think outside the box, and innovate.
Finding a Place to Belong
For many students, having the ability to explore and develop their interests outside of the classroom also is a vital part of their social and emotional development. The clubs and activities offer students a place where they can make friends with other students who share their interests and passions. They can find a place where they belong and feel most comfortable. This helps them develop empathy and understanding of others. The feeling of belonging also helps them develop emotional resilience.
