After School Activities

Welcome to the After School Activities Enrichment Programmes for:

• Performing Arts
• Fine Arts & Clubs
• Non-Competitive Sports

We are delighted to offer all of our students a diverse assortment of activities that inspire our participants to develop new skills, discover and nurture individual interests and talents, and to broaden and share intercultural perspectives while fostering new social networks and friendships.

Our After School Activities encourage our students to explore and ‘taste the flavor’ of their chosen program(s) while giving our participants an enriching supplement to their class work in performing arts, fine arts, technology, strategic thinking, and sports. Students can learn new skills that generate a motivated interest towards what they ultimately pursue and /or specialize in for their future.

Performing Arts

Those who are interested in the Performing Arts may broaden their focus with a variety of instrumental, choir, dance, drama, and theatre programs. Our numerous performances hosted here at MIS coupled withchoir camps, events, and festivals held on off-campus venues, enhance our After School Performing Arts programs with a plethora of opportunities for our students. Our superbly equipped theater, a black room for small productions, a well-appointed film room, blue room, and two auditoriums prepare and accommodate our performers with opportunities to shine. The students learn to create, develop, practice and present their works with a positive and professional attitude.

MIS is a member of: ISTA (International School Theater Association), AMIS (Association for Music in International School) and NESDA (New European Speech and Debate Association); outstanding organizations that offer a variety of educational opportunities and experiences for dedicated students to participate and grow.

Fine Arts and Clubs

Students can direct their creative passion, eye for detail, and flare for design into our Fine Arts and Clubs that offer arts & crafts, ceramics, cooking, technology, and photography. Our Chess Club offers our Junior School students another avenue to exercise and develop cognitive skills while expanding their strategic thinking abilities; MIS is also a member of NESDA (New European Speech and Debate Association). Our fine arts and clubs are intended to provide hands-on experience while nurturing sometimes undiscovered talents, new skills, and multi-dimensional cogitation.

Non-Competitive Sports

The role of our Non-Competitive Sports activities is to give students the opportunity to try a variety of sports in a welcoming and motivating atmosphere. The programs focus on individual development and growth, while cultivating the concept of good sportsmanship and team play. This is a great venue to learn proper skills and techniques that can be used for a lifetime in recreational play or taken to new levels of competitive performance.

Important Dates 

The colorful array of enrichment opportunities that are offered by our After School Activities, meet once a week for ten weeks in three seasonal sessions.Some of our programs are designed to progress across all three seasons while others are offered for one or two sessions. There is a two week break between each session and during this interlude, registration and class enrollment are processed. Programs offered will vary for fall, winter, and spring to provide seasonal changes for weather conditions, annual exhibits, performances, etc. Please note that new applications must be submitted for each session, unless specified on the online activity description.

The Choirs, the Bands, Strings and Orchestra, Climbing, Mandarin, and Taekwon Do are ‘all year’programs with extra rehearsals during the music productions and concerts, and special testing and exhibitions for martial arts promotion.

Our Junior School ASA programs are usually scheduled from 15:15 - 16:15; Monday - Thursday. Middle and Senior School ASA classes are generally held from Monday - Friday, from 16:15 to 17:45. Activities that are conducted off campus often require a different time range. The application for the first session must be submitted by August 23, 2012.

Applications 

Registration must be completed online.  If you experience technical problems, send an email to: activities@mis-munich.de.

Our goal is to continue accommodating all students in at least one activity, however, please note that classes are limited in size.

Allocation Procedure

• All applications received before the due date will be considered. Please note that early applications will not be given priority.
  
• If an activity is oversubscribed, we will review previous sessions within the school year, and give priority to either those who have not yethad the opportunity to participate or who have participated in fewer activities.
  
• After a student is placed in an activity, priority then goes to placing other children before that same child is placed in a second or third activity. *Please note that students may join a maximum of three activities to cooperatively provide an opportunity for others to also enjoy at least more than one of their chosen programs; this is contingent on space availability.
  
• Students may not rank their choices.
  
• We look forward to our participating students to come to their ASA with a positive and constructive attitude.  Disrespectful behavior will not be accepted and may result in giving that student’s spot in the class to another student on the waiting list.
  
• Students who are absent for two weeks without a considerable excuse may lose their space in an activity so that a wait listed student can have an opportunity.

A confirmation letter notifying you in which activity each student can participate will be sent home to each student at the end of the application and registration process.
