At Jeddah Prep and Grammar School (JPGS), we believe that education extends beyond the classroom, and that extra-curricular activities play an essential role in fostering well-rounded, confident, and resilient individuals. We encourage all students to participate in at least one activity each week, embracing the diverse opportunities available to them across academic, arts, cultural, and sporting realms.
Our extra-curricular programme offers something for everyone, from Year 1 to Year 13. We are proud to provide a wide variety of activities that cater to different interests and passions, ensuring that every student has the chance to engage in something meaningful. Whether it’s delving deeper into academic pursuits, exploring creative arts, or embracing physical challenges, there’s an activity for everyone.
For students looking to expand their knowledge and sharpen their skills, we offer a range of academic clubs, including STEM based clubs, language enrichment, debating , and Model United Nations (MUN). These activities are designed to challenge students intellectually, promote critical thinking, and encourage them to explore new ideas. Our MUN team regularly competes in local and regional events, giving students the platform to hone their public speaking and diplomatic skills.
The arts are an integral part of the JPGS experience. Students can express their creativity through drama, music, and visual arts clubs. From participating in school plays and concerts to joining our talented art teams, students have numerous outlets to showcase their talents. Our cultural clubs provide further enrichment that broaden students’ horizons and deepen their understanding of the world.
Physical education is at the heart of our extra-curricular offering, and our wide range of sports ensures that every student can find a way to stay active. From football, volleyball and basketball to swimming and badminton, we provide high-quality coaching and facilities to support our students’ development. Competitive sport fixtures are a key part of our programme, giving students the opportunity to represent JPGS in local, regional and international competitions.
In addition to traditional sports, we offer unique activities like sailing, providing students with access to expert coaching and facilities through our external partnerships. Whether training for competitive fixtures or simply enjoying a new hobby, our sports programme encourages teamwork, discipline, and a lifelong love of physical activity.
Beyond the academic and physical benefits, our extra-curricular programme encourages students to give back to the community through volunteering opportunities. These activities help foster empathy, leadership, and a sense of responsibility, nurturing global citizens who are prepared to make a positive impact in the world.
We believe that every student should take advantage of the incredible range of extra-curricular activities on offer at JPGS. Whether it’s trying something new, honing a skill, or making lifelong friendships, our extra-curricular programme provides invaluable experiences that enrich the school journey. We look forward to seeing all our students thrive in their chosen activities!
