How do you like to spend your time after school?

Did you know that how you choose to


spend this time could be one of the most important ways you shape your future?
Extracurricular activities are a critical component of your school, and you need to
impress with your interests. But you might not know what good extracurricular
activities look like or what you should be spending your time on.
In our School we've got you covered with some of extracurricular activities that would
help you in your future and affect your hobbies.

What Is An Extracurricular Activity?


An extracurricular activity can be almost anything that isn’t required for school credit
or paid employment. These activities will become very important later, such as when
you are applying to colleges, because they help you develop your talents, interests, and
passions. They can also teach you practical skills like time management, emotional
intelligence….
With so many options out there, all students should be able to choose an extracurricular
activity that they are interested in and can develop a passion for!

What doesn't necessarily count as an extracurricular?

An interest of yours that's very self-centered.


You can't just make a tattoo and expect colleges to be wowed. It should
be an activity that demonstrates a talent or contributes value to other people. There's a
spectrum here, though - improving your talent in drawing isn't really an extracurricular.
But starting a You-tube channel around drawing or creating a club for arts and crafts
definitely does.
But if you're still unsure if something counts as an extracurricular, or you need some
inspiration, then read on for our complete list of extracurricular activities.
