Activities & Athletics
At the International School of Kigali, we believe that physical activity and exploration nurture both the body and mind, creating well-rounded individuals prepared for life's journey. We embrace inclusivity by ensuring every student, regardless of background or ability, has opportunities to discover their unique strengths through diverse athletic and creative pursuits.
Our team sports and collaborative activities foster curiosity by encouraging students to try new challenges, push their boundaries, and find joy in the process of growth and discovery together.
Together, we cultivate a community where physical wellness and mental resilience develop hand in hand, empowering our students to become confident, compassionate, and curious global citizens.
Our programs are designed to be accessible to students of all ability levels, fostering an environment where every child can discover their passions, develop new skills, and build meaningful connections with peers who share their interests.
Our comprehensive sports and after school activities programs are thoughtfully supported by a collaborative team of dedicated professionals, including our passionate ISK teaching staff who volunteer their expertise, professional coaches committed to student development, and carefully selected external service providers who bring specialized skills to our community.
We work closely with the Gasabo Private School League to ensure an equitable and inclusive partnership that prioritizes fair play, mutual respect, and meaningful athletic experiences for all participating schools.
By blending the talents of our internal educators, professional coaches, and external specialists, we create a supportive ecosystem that nurtures student growth, encourages skill development, and builds lasting connections across our school and the broader Kigali international school community.
