Recreation through a range of extracurricular activities
The FIS After School Activity Program (ASAP) highly contributes to a balanced school day and offers the students multiple ways to further develop their creativity, learn new skills and release their energy.
After School Activities are offered all year long to Early Years 5 to 12 students by either FIS or qualified external teachers. Fall, winter and spring activities cover a wide spectrum of interests: Craft, Chess, Sports, Languages and more.
The Winter program for the school year 2024/2025 will start the week of January 7, 2025 and end on March 28, 2025.
Register online through the FIS Parent Portal from Monday, November 25 at 17:00 until Friday, December 6 at 09:00. Some activities are very popular and fill up very quickly!
Please note:
Aside from After School activities, students can take private music lessons at the FIS after class (see our Instrumental Program), Secondary School students can participate in the GISST Sports Program (see our Sports page) and a lot of activities can be organized locally in the Erlangen community. If you need any help in finding specific sports or activities, please email and we will be happy to assist you.
