After School Activities Provide a Channel for Enrichment and Fun
At YISS, students from kindergarten through 8th grade have the opportunity to engage in a diverse range of After-School Activities (ASA) from 3:15 to 4:30 p.m., alongside their friends and classmates. These activities provide a dedicated space for students to explore their interests, develop new skills, and participate in enriching extracurricular experiences. From sports and the arts to academic enrichment, our program fosters personal growth, creativity, fitness, and fun.
As the ASA Trimester 2 concludes, YISS celebrates the dedication and enthusiasm of the 402 ES and MS students who participated in various activities, including basketball, swimming, soccer, Junior Engineers, chess, ballet, arts & crafts, fencing, pop dance, all sports, ceramic & arts, Taekwondo, Movement and Me, Fitness Fun, and ball hockey. Despite the winter conditions, our students showed up, collaborated, and demonstrated resilience—turning challenges into opportunities for growth and success.While the YISS PE program emphasizes broad participation and education, the after-school program nurtures competitive excellence, sport-specific skill development, creative artistic expression, and social and cultural integration. The countless photos and videos captured throughout the trimester highlight the joy of learning and teamwork that define the ASA experience.
Additionally, the introduction of the SchoolsBuddy automated system has streamlined the registration process, enhancing efficiency and making it more convenient for families to access important information. As YISS continues to learn and refine the system each trimester, the ASA team acknowledges the challenges faced by the community and appreciate their feedback. The ASA team remains committed to improving the experience and ensuring a smoother process for all.
A heartfelt thank you to YISS students, instructors, and families for making this trimester a success! The ASA team looks forward to another exciting season of learning, collaboration, and fun ahead.
The ASA program is a key part of our commitment to a well-rounded education. It provides students with enriching experiences beyond the classroom, helping them grow both personally and socially.
The Trimester 3 ASAs will take place from March to May 16. The ASA team looks forward to seeing many students continue to take advantage of these enriching opportunities in the upcoming trimester.
