ISD’s educational philosophy extends beyond the classroom, emphasizing the integration and enhancement of after-school activities. These endeavors go beyond mere enrichment; they’re intrinsic to ISD’s holistic approach to education. With a curriculum shaped by the IB’s principles, ISD offers more than just rigorous academics. It provides a platform for students to explore, experience, and evolve beyond the classroom.
A Glimpse into ISD’s Extracurricular Activities:

  • Arts & Creativity: Among the varied artistic opportunities at ISD, students can partake in drumming sessions, engage in therapeutic diamond painting, embark on beginner guitar lessons, or explore numerous other artistic mediums.
  • Physical Activities & Sports: Just a few of the athletic options include an open-to-all running club, gymnastics classes for varying skill levels, football training sessions, Modern Dance lessons, adult yoga classes, and a unique Jazz Dance & Ballet fusion program.
  • Academic & Skill-based Clubs: Highlighting some of the academic enrichments, there’s the Math Club with its captivating topics, the Student Council offering a voice in school operations, a dive into the technological realm of 3D design and printing, and a board games club with games apt for all age brackets.
  • Global Awareness: A standout in global education, the Model United Nations (MUN) program, serves as a platform for students to delve deep into global issues. Here, they get to interact with peers both locally and from other countries, gaining a nuanced perspective on diplomacy and international challenges.

Out of 259 students, an impressive tally of over 200 immerse themselves in these activities. This robust participation underscores ISD’s commitment to offering a diverse array of over 30 unique activities. At ISD, it’s not merely about broadening horizons; it’s about cultivating passions, nurturing talents, and shaping holistic individuals prepared for the challenges of tomorrow.
