Clubs & Activities

YISS clubs and activities complement what students learn in the classroom and provide opportunities to explore different interests.

Elementary and middle school students can choose to attend after school activities (ASA) in various areas such as arts, sports, fitness, and even languages. The activities give students the opportunity to develop new skills, make friends, and have fun.

In middle and high school, student clubs and honor societies give students an avenue for pursuing their interests outside of the classroom in a manner that helps them grow and develop as leaders.
