Extracurriculars
Student Life
Approaching complementary disciplines to enrich education.
Los Alcaparros offers a diverse program of extracurricular activities that allows students to explore their interests, discover new skills, and strengthen their talents in areas such as sports, the arts, and other formative disciplines.
We offer more than twenty workshops designed to provide enriching experiences in spaces carefully adapted to support the development of each activity. These experiences take place throughout the school year in two semester-long seasons.
Student participation is voluntary, and every activity aims to help your child find a space where they can learn, enjoy, and grow. At the end of each semester, we share, with families, a showcase of the students’ processes and achievements through presentations and special activities that reflect their commitment, creativity, and work.
Extracurricular activities for Kinder 4 begin during the second semester of the school year.
Our extracurricular program is organized into four main categories
Body and Movement: Through movement, children strengthen their motor skills, develop healthy habits, and learn to recognize their bodies as essential tools for growth and self-care.
Music: We encourage students to explore different instruments and musical expressions so they can discover, interpret, and enjoy music. We also promote the development of the voice as an essential part of their artistic and expressive growth.
Discovering Science: From the interdisciplinary perspective that characterizes Alcaparros, we offer exploration and experimentation experiences that encourage students to ask questions, investigate, and take on new challenges creatively.
Arts and crafts: We create spaces where creativity, imagination, and hands-on learning come together. We continuously seek new proposals that integrate different disciplines and expand opportunities for each child’s personal and artistic development.
