At Greengates School, extracurricular activities (Afternoon Activities) are a cornerstone of our commitment to nurturing well-rounded, globally-minded individuals. These activities are designed to expand students’ horizons in addition to what they learn in the classroom, allow them to pursue a broad range of interests, and make friends throughout the wider school community.
Beyond the classroom, these activities seamlessly integrate with our academic curriculum, offering students unparalleled opportunities for holistic growth. Through sports, arts, and clubs, Greengates students cultivate essential life skills, from teamwork to adaptability, enhancing their educational journey.
Greengates offers four main sports: volleyball, football (soccer), basketball, and swimming. We have competitive junior and varsity teams for boys and girls during all three terms, where Greengates competes against other local schools.
We also offer cross-country, climbing, rhythmic gymnastics, Global Games Club, catch ball, tennis, badminton and flag football.
In addition, we have clubs around the arts, academics and other interests and hobbies such as photography, cooking, Knitting Club, Film-making Club, International Cooking Club, STEAM, videogame development, tutoring workshops and more.
Our tailored approach ensures that every extracurricular endeavor aligns with our high standards of academic excellence, contributing to a vibrant, supportive community where students thrive academically and personally.
At Greengates, we are committed to creating an environment where every child feels valued and respected. Our school is more than just a place of learning; it is a vibrant community of families, united by the belief that our diversity is a source of strength and something to be celebrated.
As Educators, we are continuously striving to improve practice and one of the most effective ways that we can do this is through collaboration with others in our profession. This October, we had seven teachers visit Greengates from the British School, Rio to observe the teaching and learning in the primary school. The visit came as a result of a recommendation from our accreditation body, the International Curriculum Association (ICA), who have recognised Greengates Primary as a school of best practice.
Last week, our Performing Arts teachers, Victor Lopez (Drama) and Hadiya Morris (Music and Drama), attended a regional Americas course in Panama focused on the Juilliard K-12 Curriculum.
