EXTRA-CURRICULUM ACTIVITY
At Yas American Academy, our Extra-Curricular Activity (ECA) provision is designed to offer students a wide range of opportunities for growth, creativity, and learning, starting from KG1 and extending through to Grade 12. We provide a diverse selection of activities tailored to students’ different abilities and interests, ensuring that there is something for everyone. Whether before school, during lunch, or after school, our ECAs foster a balanced and enriching school experience.

For our secondary school students, we offer a variety of clubs and programs that encourage intellectual, personal, and social development. These include Model United Nations (MUN), TedX, Gamesmaster, coding, and academic-focused clubs like AP Calculus and AP Precalculus, providing an opportunity for advanced learning beyond the classroom.

In the elementary school, our clubs are designed to inspire creativity and nurture new skills. Students can participate in cooking, sewing, French language, Lego, and creative writing clubs, all of which encourage hands-on learning and self-expression.
At Yas American Academy, our comprehensive ECA programme is designed to support each student’s personal development and interests, both inside and outside the classroom.

From a sporting perspective, we offer competitive squads for both boys and girls in a variety of sports, including Football, Basketball, Volleyball, Swimming, Touch Rugby, Cricket, and Netball. These teams are available from Under 9s through to U19s, allowing students to compete at different age levels and develop their athletic skills. We enter ADISSA competitions, the ADEK Cup and the Jr NBA.

We also collaborate with external providers, such as Infinite Sports, to further enrich our ECA provision. Their offerings include clubs like Karate, Ballet, swimming lessons, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Spanish, ensuring our students have access to a wide range of specialist programs.
Additionally, we offer clubs focused on Ministry of Education subjects, such as Ramsetna, Quran, and Arabic reading, to support our students’ cultural and religious growth.
Our partnership with Manchester City brings football coaching to students of all abilities, providing world-class training that helps them enhance their skills and love for the game.
