Social and artistic activities give students an opportunity to get to know themselves better, to discover and develop their talents and to learn how to live and work together. Contrary to popular belief, club activities are not designed simply to fill students' free time but are a way of consolidating the content of academic programs through practical experience.

 

At Üsküdar American Academy, students are expected to participate in at least one club activity. With a range of options in the fields of language, science, arts or sports, it is easy for students to find a club that interests them.

 

Decisions regarding the areas that will be covered by Student Association Clubs are made democratically by the association, which is formed of class representatives. Clubs are formed with specific goals in mind, but the topics to be covered and activities to be carried out in order to work towards those goals are determined every year. Each student who participates in a club brings to it new ideas and a new point of view.
