Student life

After School Activities

LEARNING BEYOND
ACADEMICS

We believe in offering students opportunities to explore their individual talents and discover new interests outside the regular school hours, so that they have a chance to shine in different ways.
ISG provides engaging activities and clubs tailored to meet the needs of each year group, all of them supporting and transmitting the school’s core values.

All activities nurture interpersonal relationships and a feeling of community, help students become more culturally aware, and foster concepts such as collaboration, cooperation, and teamwork.

All activities are run by professional and knowledgeable teachers and instructors. The After school program schedule varies from year to year, depending on interest.
