At EIS, we believe that a robust co-curricular program, offering competitive and non-competitive sports, after-school activities, performing arts, and service opportunities can, as a part of the school’s overall curriculum, prepare the students to be successful in life. Our program gives students the opportunity to explore their passions and stresses hard work, leadership, camaraderie, sportsmanship, and fair play.
we believe that:
Co-curricular activities are an integral part of the overall curricular program.
Every student should have the opportunity to become involved to some extent.
Sponsors, coaches and students should, at all levels, develop and exhibit accepted attitudes of cooperation, citizenship, good sportsmanship, and dedication.
Education helps develop a balance between a sound mind and a healthy body. We have all grown up hearing “A healthy body houses a healthy mind”, but how does one achieve a healthy body while achieving excellence in academics?. This is possible by knowing the co-curricular activities and its importance. Co-curricular activities are a great way to get a break from the four-walled environment and move outside the traditional classroom. These activities take place alongside curricular activities, which gives a chance to students to showcase their non-academic skills. Kids are full of energy which adults can’t keep up to. Co-curricular activities help them manage their reservoir of energy. But, co-curricular activities are not all play. Co-curricular activities and its importance has been proven by many types of research and is now part of the curriculum of many schools. Co-curricular activities for students not only helps in mental and physical development but also helps in raising a well-adjusted individual. These structured activities are a great way to give a much-deserved break to the kids from academic while building on their core skills. We hope you liked this article regarding co-curricular activities and its importance.

Our philosohpy
Our athletic program at the elementary level is focused on providing our participants with the opportunities to develop specific sports and general social skills with the main interest being the participation and commitment of all athletes involved. At the Middle School level, competition takes a more prominent role, but social and technical skill development is still extremely important. The athletics program serves as a miniature model of life that provides opportunities for students with regard to sportsmanship, responsibility, integrity, honesty, teamwork, leadership, and respect for authority. Additionally, athletics help individual students develop healthy self-concepts as well as physical well-being. Athletic competition adds to our school spirit and helps all students –spectators as well as participants– develop pride in the school. Winning is often considered the measure of success and our athletes are encouraged to do their best in every team or individual competition. However, winning is not the only objective of the EIS athletics program. Our main objective is to provide opportunities for students to develop themselves as well-rounded individuals with positive social and group attitudes and habits, capable of taking their place in a global society and any international community. Try-outs are held at all levels to select the teams that will represent EIS during AASCA and ABSH sports’ seasons. Due to AASCA and ABSH regulations and established rules regarding participation, there are limits on how many participants are allowed in each sport. Our coaching staff is well prepared and aware of our priorities regarding athletics. Students can practice with the team even if they are not selected to the AASCA or ABSH teams.
