Our Programs
Beyond the School's rigorous academic curriculum, our students have the opportunity to spend their time creatively and enjoyably by participating in a range of activities offered by the Special Programs.
Our students can choose from 55 diverse options, including foreign language lessons in English, French, German, Spanish and Mandarin Chinese; Robotics (STEAM); Drama Workshops; Philosophical Thinking; Chess; Music; Sports; and Dance. These programs help students discover their interests while nurturing their skills and talents. Each year, through their participation, 1,500 students train for competitions; prepare for foreign language certification exams; receive an education in the Arts; take part in educational excursions; and train in team sports, blending physical activity with leisure.
Special Programs classes are conducted in our school’s state-of-the-art facilities, under the guidance of specialized teachers. Through these experiences, students socialize and connect with their peers who share similar interests.
Music classes at the College Conservatory are also open to students from outside our School.
