We provide all necessary facilities and support all the initiatives for our students to participate in extra-curricular activities and clubs. Our student clubs are coordinated by experiences teachers and are highly active not only within

Camps & Overseas Trips
UWIS students do not spend all of their time in the classroom. Students and their parents in Grades 6-11 go on one week-long trip every year. In addition, the vast majority of students will go on other trips either within Paris, around France or other countries, as part of different courses that they take, or as part of an Extended Curriculum Program. These trips can be for part of a day (for example to a museum). Some students may also take part in the school’s humanitarian project, where a group of students and teachers from UWIS goes to Turkey during the summer break to support other children and teachers working in a school with a significantly different level of resources to that enjoyed at UWIS. A trip to England or the USA may be arranged for a group of students to study the language and learn about the country.
