It has been a while since school started, and I believe that CIS students have gradually adapted to the all-English classes.In addition to academic courses, CIS also prepares a variety of extracurricular activities (ASA) for them, I hope every student can find his or her own passion and shining point here.

Extracurricular activities are not only a supplement to classroom learning, but also an indispensable part of their growth.Here, children can not only improve their language and academic skills, but also explore music and art, practice physical skills (such as golf lessons), develop leadership and presentation skills, and participate in multicultural and technological innovation projects.These courses will help them expand their horizons and discover their potential.

Empowering the future:The organic combination of meta-culture and scientific innovation.

Multiculturalism and technological innovation are the main themes of our era. The breadth, depth, and speed of technological development have far exceeded most people's imagination.

In the face of rapidly changing technology, it is a huge challenge for everyone. CIS deeply understands that innovation can allow schools to break the routine; innovation can also allow students to set their sights on a farther future. Therefore, on Wednesday, we set up Chinese culture clubs, art courses and AIGC (Artificial Intelligence Graphic Computing) courses to provide children with opportunities to connect with culture and technology, allowing them to discover new points of interest in a diverse environment , inspire creativity and improve problem-solving abilities.

In addition, physical health courses are also indispensable courses for us. Our physical education programs include football and basketball on Tuesdays, and swimming lessons on Wednesdays. These sports activities not only help students exercise physical fitness and enhance physical fitness, but also improve their awareness of teamwork and competitiveness. During swimming lessons, professional coaches will teach students in groups according to their skill levels to ensure that each student can improve their swimming skills in a safe environment. Sports are not only physical exercise, but also the cultivation of psychology and team spirit.

Value students’ right to choose:

Guide students to pursue their own light

CIS believes that a variety of extracurricular activities can not only cultivate students' interests and potential, but also enhance students' horizons, which has an important impact on students' further studies and future development. From the perspective of cultivating personal abilities, extracurricular activities are the completion and extension of classroom teaching.

By participating in extracurricular activities, students can continuously explore their own interests, hobbies and potential, continuously expand their knowledge areas and perspectives, and make more like-minded friends.

From the perspective of further studies, Extracurricular courses can reflect students' concentration and research in a certain field, and can reflect students' hobbies and unique qualities, time investment and achievements to a greater extent. These factors may be additional points when applying to prestigious schools. By participating in long-term extracurricular courses, students can fully exercise their organizational skills, coordination skills, learning skills, communication skills, etc. These abilities will play an important role in their future overseas university life, and will even play an important role in students' future after entering society. Development will also have a positive impact.

So, what is the value of extracurricular courses? Is there any best option?

Here, there is no unified standard for the so-called gold content. Only the one that suits you best is the best choice. Therefore, what needs to be emphasized is that you should not be easily distracted by classmates and friends around you and blindly pursue the number of types of activities to participate in! Everyone should have a clear passion and something they really like, such as sports, musical instrument playing, painting, science and technology creation, etc., and then plan a series of extracurricular courses suitable for them based on their passion.

At CIS, what students need to do is to become a unique self,The school will give all children the opportunity to discover and become the “best version of themselves”. Students should be the masters of the school, not passive recipients. We value students' right to choose and guide students to pursue their own light, so that students' potential can be fully stimulated and their talents can be fully developed.
