At Queen’s International, we believe that education is not just about what happens inside the classroom. To truly nurture well-rounded individuals, we offer a range of extracurricular activities that foster personal growth, build confidence, and cultivate a strong sense of community. These programs—spanning from arts and music to chess and robotics—play a crucial role in helping students discover their strengths, develop new skills, and gain the confidence to express themselves.
Building Confidence Through Self-Expression
Extracurricular activities like arts, music and dance provide students with a creative outlet to explore their individuality and express their emotions in a supportive environment. Whether it’s through painting, performing in a school play, or dancing in front of their peers, students learn to communicate in ways that go beyond words. These experiences teach them to take risks, embrace challenges, and build self-esteem as they grow more comfortable with expressing their ideas and talents.
At Queen’s, we encourage students to step outside of their comfort zones and try new activities, knowing that each new experience can boost their confidence and help them better understand who they are. The joy of accomplishment in mastering a dance routine or creating a piece of art instills a sense of pride and self-assurance that carries over into other areas of their lives.
Critical Thinking and Strategy: The Power of Chess
Chess is one of the many extracurricular activities offered at Queen’s International that helps students develop important cognitive skills. Chess is not just a game—it’s a tool for teaching strategic thinking, patience, and discipline. By engaging in chess, students learn to think several steps ahead, anticipate outcomes, and solve problems under pressure. These skills are valuable not only in academics but also in real-life situations, where decision-making and planning are crucial.
Through playing chess, students also learn about the value of perseverance. In every match, they experience both wins and losses, helping them understand that setbacks are opportunities for learning and growth. This mindset encourages resilience and builds mental strength, which are essential qualities for success in any field.
Fostering a Strong Sense of Community
One of the most important aspects of extracurricular activities at Queen’s International is their ability to build a sense of community among students. Whether working together in a coding & robotics class or collaborating on a group project in the arts, students learn the value of teamwork and cooperation. These activities foster friendships, teach respect for different perspectives, and build a supportive environment where every student feels valued.
At Queen’s, we believe that nurturing a strong community spirit is just as important as academic achievement. When students work together toward common goals, they not only develop interpersonal skills but also a sense of belonging and responsibility toward others. This sense of community prepares them to be compassionate, collaborative individuals who can positively contribute to society.
Holistic Growth Beyond Academics
Extracurricular activities at Queen’s International are not just about fun—they are a critical part of our commitment to holistic education. By offering a diverse range of programs, we ensure that every student has the opportunity to explore their interests, grow in confidence, and develop the skills they need to succeed in life.
From arts, music and dance to coding, robotics, and chess, these activities help students grow intellectually, emotionally, and socially. They provide the space for creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration—key ingredients in personal development.
Queen’s International is dedicated to nurturing students who are not only academically accomplished but also well-rounded individuals ready to take on the world.
