Extra-Curricular & After-School Activities
At Glendale International School, a leading British curriculum school in Dubai, we believe that learning doesn’t stop at the classroom door. Our extra-curricular and after-school activities programme is thoughtfully designed to complement our academic curriculum and help students explore their interests, discover new talents, and build essential life skills.
Foundation Stage activities
Our youngest learners engage in activities that spark imagination, develop fine and gross motor skills, and instill joy in movement and expression. Through guided play and exploration, children develop early interests and build the foundation for lifelong learning.
Activities include:
- Art & Craft – Encouraging creativity and hands-on exploration through drawing, painting, and fun craft projects
- Sports – Age-appropriate games that build coordination, teamwork, and a love for physical activity
- Music & Dance – Introducing rhythm, melody, and movement in a joyful, expressive setting
These activities are integrated into the daily rhythm of the Foundation Stage, supporting holistic development in a nurturing, play-based environment.
Activities in Primary and Secondary stage
In the Primary and Secondary stages, our students benefit from a dynamic selection of after-school clubs and co-curricular programmes that support physical, emotional, and intellectual growth. As a British curriculum school in Dubai, we blend traditional values with modern opportunities to offer a well-rounded education.
