Research shows that participation in extracurricular activities is linked with academic success. All Eliot-Hine students are encouraged to develop new interests and hobbies and to participate in at least one activity of their choosing. In the event these activities interfere with a student’s academic progress we will create an academic support plan collaboratively with the activity sponsor, parent, teacher and the student to support his or her continued participation. Students must demonstrate safe behavior in order to participate in extracurricular activities. We reserve the right to conference with students and families if and when concerns arise.
Clubs, Activities, and Sports
All students are encouraged to participate in athletic and academic extracurricular activities. Many teachers and staff advise clubs and activities, and it's a great way for students and staff to get to know each other! Eliot-Hine attempts to align extracurricular activities offered through the school with the interests of the staff and students. As a result, the extracurricular activities differ each year as interests and energies emerge. Keep an eye on this space as new clubs may pop up during the year!
Community Service
Community service is an integral part of the IB programme. Students in all grades are expected to complete 10 hours of community service. A calendar of community service opportunities will be made available to students. Students will collaborate with their advisor to complete hours at an approved location and complete the
community service form.
