PTIS International School
Co-Curricular Information

Co-curricular and sports activities are a huge part of a student's life here at PTIS. These wide and varied activities give our children numerous opportunities to learn and grow outside the traditional classroom, greatly enhancing their educational experience at PTIS.

We encourage ALL students to be involved in at least one activity per term. Many students choose to do two, three or even more if their schedule allows. Of course, it is wise to cautiously balance curricular academic demands with these co-curricular offerings.

The Co-Curricular Program (CCP) is offered on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays for the Junior School from 3:00pm - 4:00pm (some academies are on Tuesday and Friday). Also, the CCP is offered every day after school for the Senior School from 3:15pm - 4:15pm. Some sports teams and the Senior School Production have longer practices.

VANS run daily:

• Junior School - 4:15 pm
• Senior School - 4:30 pm
• Sports Teams - 5:15 pm

Most activities in the CCP are free of charge. However, some activities have outside providers such as sports academies (golf, tennis and football), archery and muaythai and therefore charge a fee. See course descriptions for further information.

The activities offered depend on the special interests and areas of expertise of the academic staff and on requests from students. Parents and Senior PTIS students may also be involved in leading a CCP activity.

Cricket	Homework Club	Highland Dance
