After School Activities

Sports

The Yangon Academy Sports Program enjoyed a very successful year. This year we had over 70 students participating in a variety of sports from basketball, soccer and volleyball was our largest sport in terms of athletes with 45 students participating. There is more work to be done for our Soccer program and we are hoping that we can get a Girls Soccer team up and running next year. Of course, all this could not have been possible without the huge commitment and effort put forth by our great coaches.

Clubs

School clubs are a great way to help develop a student’s character and improve their skills, benefitting them not only in school but in their college applications and future career. Students' extracurricular involvement can help widen their experience and hone their communication skills, creative thinking, ability to work together effectively within a team and understand more about leadership.

School Trips

During the Academic year, our children may go on field trips to local places of interest to broaden their experiences. The pre-school may also be visited by travelling shows e.g clowns. Parents will be notified through a newsletter and a permission note will need to be signed. Some field trips have a minimal cost involved. Examples of Field Trips:
