Extracurricular Activities

Jumeirah English Speaking School (JESS), Arabian Ranches

Co-Curricular life at JESS refers to the activities and learning experiences that take place in school alongside the academic curriculum. Sport, music, drama, Duke of Edinburgh and extra-curricular activities form the basis of our vibrant programme. This is essential to providing a rounded education for our students and their enjoyment of school life will be enhanced alongside the development of their personal skills.

JESS offers a varied and exciting range of extracurricular activities for students from Year 3 and above.

By its very nature, the extracurricular programme of activities is dynamic and tailored to the student’s interests as much as possible. It will change with each term around the music and sporting calendar as well as adaptations to the weather conditions.  We aim to provide students with opportunities to experience new areas of activity and to develop as an individual with a range of interests that may go beyond their school years.

We are proud to offer a range of creative ECAs which allow children to be budding artists and designers and develop their skills in a range of settings. From Origami club to Salt Dough classes, these hands-on ECAs are incredibly popular with children from across the school. Our creative ECAs also include those focused on the use of technology such as movie making, Minecraft club and coding and robotics.
