At OWIS, we believe in nurturing well-rounded students who excel not only academically but also in various extracurricular pursuits. Our extensive range of activities ensures that every student in the middle grades finds something they are passionate about, providing them with the support and opportunities they need to thrive. Let’s have a look at extracurricular learning for Middle Grades 6 to 8 at our American school in Riyadh.

Sports

Our sports program is designed to promote physical fitness, teamwork, and discipline. Students can participate in a variety of sports, including football, basketball, badminton, and athletics. With experienced coaches and state-of-the-art facilities, we help our students develop their skills and achieve their athletic goals.

Visual Arts

Creativity is a vital part of our curriculum, and our visual arts program allows students to explore their artistic talents. From painting and drawing to sculpture and digital art, our classes encourage students to express themselves and develop their unique artistic voice.

Performing Arts

Our performing arts program offers students the chance to shine on stage. Whether they are interested in acting, singing, dancing, or playing an instrument, we provide numerous opportunities for students to perform and build their confidence. Annual school productions and talent shows are highlights of our performing arts calendar.

Model United Nations (MUN)

For those interested in global issues and diplomacy, our Model United Nations (MUN) program is a fantastic opportunity. Students can participate in simulations of UN conferences, where they learn about international relations, public speaking, and negotiation skills. MUN helps students become informed and engaged global citizens.

OWIS Shark Tank

Inspired by the popular TV show, our OWIS Shark Tank program allows budding entrepreneurs to pitch their innovative ideas to a panel of judges. This exciting initiative fosters creativity, critical thinking, and business acumen, preparing students for future entrepreneurial endeavors.

Digital Learning through Apple-Powered Learning

In today’s digital age, it’s essential for students to be proficient with technology. Our Apple-powered learning program integrates digital tools into the curriculum, providing students with the skills they need to succeed in a tech-driven world. From coding and app development to digital storytelling and multimedia projects, our program makes learning engaging and relevant.

Other Activities

Beyond these programs, we offer a variety of other activities, including debate club, chess club, and community service projects. Each activity is designed to enrich the student experience, helping them develop new skills, make friends, and build a sense of community.
