ST. JUDE PLUS
At International St. Jude School, co-curricular activities are as important as academic achievement. With the opportunity to participate in a variety of music, art, science, technology, and sports sessions, your children will enrich their school experience, taking learning beyond the classroom. In our international community, we have found that extracurricular activities also provide children with additional opportunities to see their friends, peers, and educators, which ultimately strengthens our community.
In addition to exploring their curiosity and developing socially and physically, students learn the excitement of challenges and competition, the spirit of teamwork, and a sense of achievement.
