Activities at ISD 

At ISD, students benefit from a rich and varied co-curricular programme designed to inspire creativity, build confidence, and instil a lifelong love of learning.

Beyond our comprehensive sports, performing and visual arts offerings, we provide a wide range of activities that reflect the diverse interests of our international student body and support the development of transferable skills such as collaboration, resilience, critical thinking, and cultural awareness.

Students engage in STEM-focused clubs like robotics, coding, and chess; explore personal interests through creative outlets such as ceramics, digital art, jewellery making, and ukulele; and pursue musical excellence through private instruction with professional tutors.

Our Mother Tongue Programme supports students in maintaining and developing their native languages, with courses available in Dutch, Farsi, Finnish, French, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Swedish.

Additionally, activities such as martial arts, dance, and gymnastics and more offer opportunities for physical expression and self-discipline.

With over 90+ options to choose from, these experiences play an integral role in shaping confident, well-rounded individuals who thrive both in and beyond the classroom.

Cub Club 

The Cub Club at ISD offers a warm, engaging after-school environment for our elementary students, running daily from 15:45 to 18:00. Designed to support working families and enrich the student experience, the programme combines structured activities—such as arts and crafts, music, team sports, and games—with time for free play, reading, and relaxation.

Full-day and half-day care options are also available on select non-student days. Led by dedicated staff, Cub Club provides a safe, flexible space where children can unwind, explore their interests, and enjoy time with friends after the school day ends.
