Extracurriculars
Student Life
Approaching complementary disciplines to enrich education.
Los Alcaparros has a varied extracurricular program comprised of more than twenty workshops that bring our students closer to the arts, sports and other disciplines in order to offer a well-rounded education. For this purpose, it has the appropriate facilities for the development of these activities, which take place during the school year in two semestral seasons.
Student participation is completely voluntary and, at the end of each semester, we make a presentation for the parents in which the product of their work and the learning obtained is evidenced.
*Las extracurriculares para kínder 4 se empiezan a dictar en el segundo semestre del año escolar.
Our offer is divided into four categories.
Body and Movement: Recognizing and knowing the body is fundamental in the creation of care routines and in the development of motor skills that strengthen children’s development.
Música: La oportunidad de acercarse a diversos instrumentos para aprender a conocerlos, a interpretarlos y a amarlos es la razón de ser de nuestra pedagogía musical. Además, ofrecemos la posibilidad de explorar y desarrollar la voz como parte integral de nuestra enseñanza musical.
Discovering Science: From the interdisciplinary approach that characterizes Alcaparros, we have an offer of experimentation activities that allow children to investigate and face new challenges.
Arts and crafts: The College is in a constant search for different offerings that allow for the integration of disciplines, broadening the possibilities for student development.
