Extracurricular Curriculum (Education outside the classroom)

This is a mandatory curriculum component at SPA. It is interest-based learning. Students choose to participate in at least one or more extra-curricular activities. Extracurriculars refer to activities pursued outside of the classroom in students’ community which may be: participating in a sports team, learning to play a musical instrument, or playing a musical instrument in a band, learning an entrepreneurial skill, working a part-time job, volunteering, and (or) serving as chief editor in the schools’ school newspaper

Compulsory:

  • Work experience (Open ONLY to students from Year 9 (JS 3) to Year 12 (SS 3))

StellaPride academy makes work experience a prerequisite to progress through every school year of study from year 9. The work experience can be engaged in at any time in the year in each school year from Year 9.Work experience enriches the educational experience of students. Students are expected to be committed to their extracurricular involvement. They are advised to maintain at least one extracurricular interest at every point in time in addition to focusing on their grades, in a meaningful way. This extracurricular requirement at StellaPride Academy is premised on the research which reveals that early work experience for young adults sets them up for future success by allowing them to develop key skills needed to thrive academically and professionally.

SPA’s extracurricular curriculum also aims at starting students off with early experience, professional connections, and the ability to discern what types of work they enjoy; this will give them clarity as they decide on their post-secondary education.

Students’ work experience (education outside the classroom) is carried out in the environment chosen by the student with clear guidelines. The work experience can take many forms, including job shadowing and hourly work. The key is to encourage students to explore a career path they’re interested in when they have the time and flexibility to try it out before settling with a choice program for post-secondary education.
