School Year 2020 2021
Academic Year 2020 - 2021
High School Clubs and Subject Labs
Introduction
Being an IB school, Chapel values and encourages students to explore learning and development beyond the classrooms. As stated in the IB Learner Profile, "We understand the importance of balancing different aspects of our lives - intellectual, physical, and emotional - to achieve well-being for ourselves and others. We recognize our interdependence with other people and with the world in which we live." To support students' holistic development, Chapel offers a wide range of extracurricular activities. These include clubs, physical activities, and after school academic support. All students who meet minimum academic and behavior expectations are encouraged to enroll in clubs that requires regular attendance and active participation. Therefore, Chapel recommends that students enroll in no more than three extracurricular activities, to partake meaningfully in each activity they undertake, and to keep a focus on academic responsibilities.
Each semester the school will publish a schedule of extracurricular activities designed for high school students. This semester, we will not have a Club Rush to present activities. Instead, students are encouraged to contact Club advisors in case they need further clarifications about the activities introduced in this booklet. Club advisors (faculty) are responsible for developing guidelines and expectations for club membership. All club activities must follow the High school parent-student handbook and the guidelines presented in this section. Some clubs are created and developed by Chapel community members, e.g. STUCO (Student Council), while others are related to other organizations and follow their main guidelines such as MUN (Model United Nations) and NHS (National Honor Society).
Clubs Clubs can be founded by teachers or students, but all of them are under adult supervision. It is expected that students assume leadership in these groups, but all actions must be guided, approved, and supervised by an adult advisor. The main goal of activities led by club members is to provide opportunities for students to explore varied interests beyond subjects taught in regular classes.
Each club must have a Mission statement, clear guidelines and expectations, procedures for enrollment, and maintenance of membership. To be considered a club member and receive a participation certificate students must follow the Student Code of Conduct, adhere to the club rules and expectations, attend the minimum number of meetings established by each club organization. Depending on each club's rules, students may participate in activities as a visitor. Attendance will be controlled in all club activities. The initiation and the continuity of any Club depends on the minimum of 5 participants in every encounter. Click HERE to enroll in any of the Clubs below.
