Extracurricular activities today play an important role in the all-round development

of students. They improve school performance, promote relationships, boost

motivation and self-esteem, help to instil positive physical, intellectual and social habits

that revert in a better management and organization of leisure time.

SEK-Catalunya has designed, in line with the principles and values of the SEK Educational

Model, a wide and varied range of first-rate extracurricular activities which give students

the opportunity to enrich their academic, cultural, artistic and sporting education.

These activities represent an ideal complement to students’ education and help

stimulate them, affording them an optimal way to enhance their personal qualities.

SEK-Catalunya designs its extracurricular activities based on three key priorities

and taking into account the preferences and needs of each student: Individualised

education (the learning process adapts to the interests and abilities of each student);

bilingual and international education (learning languages and developing a mindset

open to other cultures) and training in skills and competences (creativity, innovation,

entrepreneurship, critical thinking, communication, teamwork).

Choosing which activities are most appropriate for each student based on their abilities,

interests and motivations is not always easy. Therefore, tutors will always be available to

families to advise and help them make the right decision.

Throughout the school year, a thorough follow-up of the work involved in these activities is

carried out which is further analysed and assessed in the quarterly meetings with the tutor.

15Through these activities we ensure students' all-round education, develop their creativity and sensitivity by doing art activities in different fields such as music, ballet, dance, drama and art.

SEK-Catalunya has an agreement with the Conservatori del Liceu. The programme's academic structure enables us to optimise the time devoted to music and combines the education received by students at school in learning their chosen instrument, at the school itself and outside school hours.

The aim of the SEK-Catalunya music school is to offer a high added-value music learning programme, which stimulates students, is widely acknowledged for its quality, includes learning an instrument, enables them to play in music ensembles, choirs and bands and is integrated with the Spanish curriculum, and that we are all very proud of in our educational community.

Instruments Children choose an instrument after having become familiar with it, both in visual terms and its sounds, and knowing the different options it offers such as forming part of an orchestra, chamber music ensembles and so forth. The students will have to decide which they like best and best suits their personalities. Parents or teachers may advise the child, but it is clear that the first contact of children with instruments should be the result of a personal choice and how attracted they are to it. In Year 2 of Primary School it is possible to take sessions in groups of two or three (according to availability). From PS3, individual sessions are recommended.

Primary School: May choose different time slots for individual instruments or in pairs or threes The sessions in pairs or threes are subject to availability.
