At KIS, we believe education goes beyond the classroom. Our academic Programmes are enriched by diverse extracurricular and co-curricular activities, helping students explore passions, develop skills, and grow into well-rounded individuals.

We value the importance of balancing academic rigor with engaging opportunities in sports, arts, and leadership, ensuring every student thrives. Prioritizing student well-being, we foster a safe, supportive environment where confidence, health, and positive choices are nurtured.

Through tailored Programmes and activities, KIS inspires students to excel academically, socially, and personally, empowering them to reach their full potential.

Discover a world of opportunities through Kyoto International School's diverse Co-Curricular Activities, designed to inspire personal growth, nurture talents, and create lasting memories beyond the classroom. Each day, students can participate in a range of After School Activities (ASA), including Bukatsu (clubs) and paid lessons. Bukatsu, offered free by KIS teachers, provides enriching experiences in areas such as calligraphy, gardening, reading, board games, photography, dance, fitness, sports, and STEM. These activities align with the Approaches to Learning of the PYP and MYP programs and run from 3:30 to 4:30 PM on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays for 12 weeks each semester. 

For additional specialized learning, paid lessons are available throughout the year and are led by external providers or teachers. These include aikido, dance, coding, drama, basketball, ikebana, and piano lessons. Explore these engaging programs and access the After School Calendar to plan your child’s participation in this vibrant extracurricular environment.
