Extracurricular Programmes

Chess

At Queen’s International, Chess is more than just a game; it’s a strategic experience that sharpens students’ minds. In our chess programme, students gather around chessboards, deep in concentration, carefully planning each move. The activity fosters critical thinking, problem-solving, and patience, as students learn to anticipate their opponent’s strategies.

With guidance from skilled instructors, students of all levels—from beginners to advanced players—engage in friendly competitions, building confidence and sportsmanship. The chess club creates a collaborative environment where students not only challenge themselves intellectually but also form friendships through shared passion. Whether during lively practice sessions or tense tournament matches, the chess program at Queen’s is where young minds come to strategize, focus, and grow.

Coding & Robotics

In the Coding & Robotics program at Queen’s International, students dive into the world of technology and innovation. Picture students huddled around laptops, their faces illuminated by screens as they write lines of code, problem-solve, and debug their programs. Nearby, robots—built by the students themselves—whir to life, navigating obstacle courses, picking up objects, or completing tasks with precision.

Under the guidance of expert instructors, students collaborate in teams, brainstorming ideas and experimenting with different solutions. They explore everything from basic coding languages to advanced robotics, fostering creativity and technical skills. The room buzzes with excitement as students see their code translate into real-world actions, sparking curiosity and a passion for STEAM. Whether it’s coding their first game or designing an autonomous robot, the program empowers students to think critically and inventively, preparing them for the technology-driven future.

Cultural Dance

At Queen’s International, the Cultural Dance programme bursts with energy, color, and rhythm. Picture students dressed in vibrant traditional costumes, moving gracefully to the beat of drums, flutes, and other indigenous instruments. The room is alive with the sound of music and the synchronized footwork of students, as they practice intricate dance routines passed down through generations.

Led by skilled dance instructors, students learn the significance and history behind each movement, connecting them to their cultural roots. The dances range from lively, celebratory performances to more solemn, ceremonial expressions, each telling a story through rhythm and motion. As they rehearse, students not only gain physical agility and coordination but also deepen their understanding of cultural heritage and tradition. The joy and pride are evident on their faces as they perform, embodying the rich diversity of African and global cultures.

Whether preparing for a school event or a special performance, the cultural dance program brings students together in celebration of tradition, unity, and self-expression.

Swimming

Swimming is the latest addition to Queen’s International’s robust extracurricular program, offering students the opportunity to develop an essential life skill while staying active and healthy. More than just a fun activity, swimming promotes physical fitness, coordination, and endurance. It enhances confidence and teaches students vital water safety skills that they can carry with them throughout life. Through regular swimming lessons, students build strength, improve their mental focus, and enjoy a refreshing break from classroom learning, making it an important part of their overall development.

As a parent at Queen’s International School, I could not be more proud of the holistic approach our school offers. The focus of Queen’s is to achieve excellence in every aspect of a child's life.. I find my son knowing who he is, aware of cultural dimensions and diversities and tapping into his talents with confidence. In the 10 years I've been there, I have never been alarmed, because the trained professionals at Queens are equipped to counsel both parents and teachers. An approachable proprietress steps in where needed with such expertise. In a nutshell, I couldn't have found a sounder and more functional school. I’m very grateful to be part of Queen's International School.

I chose Queen’s International after having contact with the CEO in 2010 who shared the visions of the school with me. At that meeting, the idea of holistic education was presented to me and not just pure academics. It included the total well being of my child; social, economic, moral, political and many more. It also included activities such as swimming, sports, chess and music (ABRSM). Over the pass years, all my 4 children have been through Queen’s International with the 1st one in Secondary school having graduated from the Queen’s while the last one is in Primary 3. I must admit that the quality of the teaching is clearly displayed anytime my children are with other children. This is demonstrated in in their choice of words, grammar and above all the confidence they possess to ask questions and get involved in discussions. I have not regretted being part of Queens over the past 13 years. I therefore wish to recommend Queens to anyone who believes in holistic Education for sound and solid foundation of their ward. Thank you, Queens, and God bless you Mrs. Gomez and the entire staff.

Queen’s International is a family oriented school that practices and promotes a holistic curriculum. We pride ourselves on getting to know each child and their individual needs and grow a child through classroom education as well as soft skills needed for life. Our past students have moved on to great achievements and are testament to the value we place on educating our children. We have a Christian foundation but also welcome all faiths in our fold and we look forward to welcoming you into our family.

Queen’s is a non-selective school believing a well-rounded education is not only achieved through academic knowledge. Queen’s believes every single child deserves the best opportunities alongside good education.
