Extended Curriculum

The Extended Curriculum Activities (ECA) offered by the International School of Paris form a big part of our students’ lives, and a great majority of our students are enrolled in at least one activity. While the ECAs are not part of the formal curriculum and structure of the school, they strongly support the philosophy and learning style of the IB programmes.

Participation in the activities develops students in all areas of the learner profile, gives them the opportunities to try new disciplines and perhaps even find their passion(s) in life. In addition to developing interests and skills, the ECAs enhance school spirit by giving students and staff opportunities to interact across grade boundaries and making new connections in the community.
