JESS Secondary School supports the philosophy that education goes beyond the limitations of the classroom. Consequently, there is a varied and exciting range of extracurricular activities. Understandably, the range of extracurricular opportunities will grow as the number of teachers in the school increases. We will, however, be looking for ways to enhance the programme by opening up off-site opportunities that would allow us to take advantage of the excellent facilities and high level of expertise that exists within Dubai.

By its very nature, the extracurricular programme of activities will be dynamic and respond to the expertise and interest that exists within the staff. It will change with each term and take into account the local climatic conditions. Generally, activities will include traditional clubs such as football, swimming, Spanish and drama as well as more unusual hobbies such as Islamic art and juggling. The important thing for the student is that he or she is given the opportunity to experience new areas of activity and to develop as an individual with a range of interests that may go beyond the school based years.
