a place to try new things

Part of school is having fun, meeting new friends, learning new skills and discovering new interests. Our REAL (Recreation, Enrichment, and Learning) Activities Program has hundreds of extra-curricular classes for students and adults, taught by FIS teachers and community instructors. 

Within our REAL Program, students can enroll in music, dance, or language courses, participate in sports or martial arts, sharpen their STEM skills or join our supervised Kids Club playgroups. 

Parents can participate, too – whether it's learning German or starting a new physical fitness routine – and classes are offered both during the day and into the evening. With more than 200 course offerings each year, the REAL Program provides yet another opportunity for FIS community members to pursue their passion and meet others. 

The REAL Program runs three separate terms per year; each is approximately 8-10 weeks in length. An online brochure is published prior to the start of each term with comprehensive information about the courses offered.
