At the International German School Hefei, extra-curricular activities are a key part of our holistic approach to education. ECAs extend learning beyond the classroom, giving students space to discover interests, build confidence, and develop new skills.

Our programme spans sport, arts, languages and the humanities, offering engaging, age-appropriate options for every learner.

Art

Working with stone clay, students design and create their own pieces while building fine-motor skills, concentration and a growing sense of aesthetic judgement.

Guitar & Ukulele

From first chords to simple songs, learners develop technique, rhythm and musicality—gaining confidence through regular practice and performance.

Yoga & Mindfulness

Gentle stretching and guided breathing support flexibility, balance and focus. Students learn simple strategies for calm, wellbeing and self-regulation.

Library Hour

Children choose books that match their interests and reading level. Quiet reading sits alongside light puzzle and logic games that encourage collaboration and critical thinking.

In addition, IGS Hefei offers Chinese, Theatre and Choir, among other options. Whether crafting in the studio or stepping onto the stage, every student can find a meaningful outlet for talent and curiosity—and collect memorable moments of growth through our ECA programme.
