Clubs here exist because students proposed them. There is no fixed roster handed down each September — what runs in a given year reflects who is here and what they care about.

The Range

Recent years have covered STEM and robotics, debate and public speaking, cultural exchange, student publications, and service groups. Weekly assemblies bring the school together outside of class.

Starting One

If what you want to do is not running, start it. The requirement is a few interested students and a staff sponsor — not a formal application process. Speak to a teacher whose subject is closest to the idea, or to the school office.

This is worth saying plainly because students often assume the list is fixed and simply do without.

What It Is Actually For

A club gives you something to be known for that is not your grade average, and it gives a teacher writing your reference something specific to describe. A reference that says a student is "hardworking and polite" says nothing; one that describes what they built, argued, or organised says a great deal.

Depth beats breadth. Two years in one club, ending as the person who ran it, reads better than one year each in six.

Time

Clubs meet outside instructional hours. Students carrying a heavy AP load should be realistic about how much they can sustain — joining four in September and abandoning three by November helps no one, least of all the reference letter.
