High School Student Life: ISB Activities and Clubs
ISB sponsors various clubs and activities, depending on student interest and participation.
School clubs offer a range of benefits that can contribute to a high school student's overall educational experience. One of the most significant benefits is that clubs provide a sense of community. By joining a club, students can connect with others who share similar interests and develop a sense of belonging.
Another benefit of school clubs is that they offer opportunities for students to develop new skills or pursue interests that may not be covered in traditional classroom settings. Whether it’s art, music, debate, robotics, entrepreneurship, or social advocacy, there’s a place for every student to belong and contribute.
At ISB, we’re proud of our high school club options. There’s something for every student in high school. If there’s something missing in our offerings, students can propose to start their own club.
Current list of clubs offered at ISB:
Maximizing the ISB High School Experience
Joining clubs helps students form connections, and many offer opportunities for students to take on leadership roles. By leading a club, students can develop soft skills, such as communication, collaboration, and decision-making. At ISB, we have six councils (Arts, House, Service, Student, Tech, and Varsity), which provide excellent opportunities for students to practice and hone their leadership skills as they represent the student body.
Leadership in clubs and councils are limited to a maximum of three officer positions (including being a council member). This means that a student can be an officer of two clubs, and be a part of a council or an officer of three clubs.
Being a member and a leader of a school club can also enhance a student's resume and college applications. Colleges often look for applicants who have demonstrated a commitment to their interests and are capable of balancing multiple responsibilities.
Students can learn more about the clubs offered at the club fair held at the start of the school year.
Leadership and Service
The ISB high school student life emphasizes service and leadership. Students participate in service-learning projects that connect classroom learning to real-world needs, locally and globally. High school students gain valuable experience in teamwork, empathy, and impact, and get opportunities to push their own boundaries and express themselves.
A Safe, Inclusive, and Supportive Environment
Student well-being is a cornerstone of the ISB high school experience. Our safe and secure campus, along with dedicated counselors, helps students maintain balance and mental health throughout their high school journey.
With students and faculty from over 60 nationalities, ISB offers a truly international and inclusive environment. Students learn to collaborate across cultures and perspectives, an essential skill for the future.
