Co-Curricular Program

Pursuing Passions and Wellbeing

Program Overview

At the heart of the ISK co-curricular program is an opportunity for students to pursue their passions and well-being. While classroom learning supports students’ academic pursuits, learning experiences offered through ISK’s co-curricular program help students learn more deeply about themselves and the world around them through the lens of ISK’s Mission, Vision, and Educational Aims.

This alignment ensures students have the knowledge and skills to take responsibility for their lives, address life’s challenges, become responsible global citizens, and be creators of knowledge. Our student-driven and student-led programs operate in three main strands: academic, creative, and physical, social & emotional wellness.

Our Co-Curricular Program Aims to:

  • Develop individuals who are globally-minded students who actively learn, create, solve, and engage in the world. We empower students to develop solutions for tomorrow's challenges.
  • Offer a wide range of programs and supports for this age group, including academic, creative, social, physical, and emotional wellness.
  • Fulfill the ISK Mission, Vision, and Educational Aims. To prepare High School students for a rapidly changing world, we provide them with the knowledge and skills to take responsibility for their lives, address life's challenges, become responsible citizens, and create knowledge.

We recognize that students have different needs and learning styles, and teachers work to ensure that the delivery of the academic and non-academic programs allows each student to succeed.

Spotlight

Hand Out is a project led by a group of ISK students who use 3D printing technologies to create mechanical prosthetic hands for individuals who need them in underprivileged communities. The club is part of a larger global network known as Enabling the Future (ENABLE). Member groups of this network, which are set up in different locations worldwide, are known as chapters. In early 2017, ISK students 3D-printed our first prototype prosthetic hand and shared it with engineers at ENABLE, resulting in our club becoming the first and currently only ENABLE chapter in East Africa.
