Capoeira
We’re pleased to continue offering Capoeira as part of our extracurricular program, guided by our experienced teacher Rafael Aguilar. Capoeira is far more than a martial art. It's a vibrant Afro-Brazilian discipline that blends movement, music, rhythm, acrobatics, and rich cultural expression.
|
In a joyful and dynamic atmosphere, children will explore Capoeira through playful games, acrobatic movement, and traditional songs in Portuguese. This immersive experience not only develops strength, coordination, rhythm, and balance, but also nurtures creativity, body awareness, and a sense of cultural appreciation.

By practicing Capoeira, students build confidence, respect, and community through an expressive art that celebrates movement and human connection.

Archery – Focus, Precision, and Inner Balance
We’re excited to introduce archery to our extracurricular program, a unique discipline that nurtures both body and mind.

Physically, it improves posture, coordination, and core strength, while also encouraging calmness and control under pressure. As a highly mindful and even artistic activity, archery allows teens to connect with themselves in a grounded, intentional way, supporting creativity and self-awareness.

Languages and Academic Clubs
We are delighted to offer a vibrant Languages section in our extracurricular program, where students can explore new ways of expressing themselves and experiencing the world. Learning a foreign language is not only a valuable communication skill — it also nurtures flexible thinking, empathy, and a natural curiosity for other cultures and people.
|
In our diverse and international school community, language learning takes on a deeper meaning. It becomes a bridge that connects students with one another, helping them appreciate different backgrounds, traditions, and ways of life.
|
Through engaging activities such as games, creative writing and conversation, students immerse themselves in the rhythm and beauty of a new language in a joyful and supportive environment. These experiences help them to grow in confidence, develop a global mindset, and build meaningful connections — both with the language and with each other.
|
|
Our Academic Clubs within the extracurricular program aim at offering enriching experiences that spark curiosity and deepen understanding beyond the classroom. Learning through hands-on experiences encourages critical thinking, creativity, and a genuine connection to the subject. By asking questions, making discoveries, and seeing the world in action, students develop not only knowledge but also confidence and a lasting love for learning. More academic clubs will be added soon — stay tuned!
