Student Life
The school offers many extra-curricular activities ranging from study clubs to outdoor sport activities through the Student Life Organization (SLO). SLO is a so called mini-society run by students for students, under the management of an SLO coordinator. Everyone is encouraged to contribute to help create a fun and enjoyable atmosphere. For students enrolled in grades 4-9, it is mandatory to enroll in extra-curricular student life activities. Students in higher grades can also pursue these activities in their free periods. Activities offered by the Student Life Organization include:
- Team Sports
- Arts and Crafts
- Ballet and Dance
- Drama
- Band, Choir, Music Lessons
- Taekwondo, Yoga
The Student Life Organization also plays an important role inside the classroom. Group Leaders provide immediate help to their classmates if they do not understand something. After a teacher has presented a concept and an accompanying exercise, Group Leaders will check their peer's work to assist the teacher in locating and filling learning gaps.

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or life:
“The student of Nature wonders the more and is astonished the less, the more conversant he becomes with her operations; but of all the perennial miracles she offers to his inspection, perhaps the most worthy of admiration is the development of a plant or of an animal from its embryo.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“By degrees we may come to know the primitive sense of the permanent objects of nature, so that the world shall be to us an open book, and every form significant of its hidden life and final cause.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
