After School Activities
After School Activities at ISC & in the Area
ISC prides itself on being a learning community for all ages and learning styles. To this end, we value extra-curricular learning that allows students to pursue talents and skills outside the classroom. Over the years, ISC offered a range of after-school activities in various areas such as Drama, Football, Rugby, Coding, Robotics, Photography, Ceramics, Story Club, Writing Club, Italian, Mandarin, Judo, Dance, and Musical Theater
The ISC after-school clubs are run by our teaching staff and a few external professionals. The specific clubs offered any given year are announced before we start of each term and require a minimum number of participants to launch. They are generally held Mondays to Thursdays from 15.50-16.50.
Separate from the ISC after-school clubs, the following selections are clubs and facilities around the Como area that many of our families use for the variety and caliber of the offers.
