Extra-curricular Activities

Getting involved in activities outside of school can help students meet new people with whom they share interests and helps improve their social skills as a result. Extracurricular activities also help students expand their networks, which is beneficial for finding career opportunities after graduation. These include a wide range of interests, from sports to music, science to arts, and we involve the Student Council to generate ideas for the activities so that everybody has a chance to develop their passion. 

These activities aim to develop and encourage student talents and interests, provide students the opportunity to extend their learning beyond the classroom, and foster active and global citizenship.

They run through most of the school year starting from April to March, although some activities are condensed due to the weather conditions. These activities offered by the school are conducted by a licensed school staff according to his/her expertise or practice. The majority of these activities are free of charge.

These activities will take place during and after school on weekdays. You will be advised at the beginning of the school year of the schedule of these activities and which activity is applicable to each grade level. These activities are subject to ADEK approval and comply with ADEK & OSH legislations.

Numerous Opportunities

Our Own English High school, Al Ain continues to offer challenges to the students through various intra and inter school activities and competitions, thereby molding them to be world citizens. Students are given the opportunity to participate in almost all inter-school competitions where they emerge victorious.

The school's enrichment program includes school extra-curricular activities (ECA), that take place during the day or after school on weekly basis. These activities provide opportunities for students to discover their talents and abilities, and to enable students to create and innovate. It is our objective to encourage balanced, holistic development in addition to a sense of healthy competition and team spirit. Students' life skills are also improved through helping them to develop balanced personalities together with physical fitness.

These activities encourage students to explore and develop their personalities, creativity and skills.

We encourage students to think innovatively and come up with brilliant and ingenious solutions to modern day problems through our Science and Social Science Symposiums along with our ‘Project Based Learning’ modules.

Academics and academic achievement is one of the cornerstones of OOL. We deliver a wide range of fun, exciting and challenging competitions and activities to our students such as the Math, Science and English Olympiads.
