Activities & Clubs

Elementary Activities Program

Enrichment
  • Our Elementary School students benefit from a variety of programs that are sponsored by teachers and members of our community. These programs enhance children's creativity with a wide variety of arts and crafts, puzzles, games, and outdoor activities. These all build critical thinking skills, listening, memory, visualization, concentration through singing, hands-on experiments, physical movement, word puzzles, art projects, and more.
Youth sports
  • The Youth Sports program provides our Elementary School students with opportunities to experience and develop skills in a range of indoor and outdoor sporting activities. These include core sports skills. They learn and develop the required skills to participate in a sport, leadership skills and positive social skills towards developing a balanced lifestyle. 
Swimming
  • Our Learn to Swim program is structured to teach fundamental stroke skills to develop strong, safe and confident independent swimmers. The skills-based teaching is based on the internationally recognized American Red Crescent Swimming and Water Safety Aquatics program, which focuses on stroke technique and water safety.
  • In Elementary School the classes take place at the Harbor Elementary East Pool with certified swim instructors.
  • Our Kindergarten students may also participate in our new Preschool Aquatic Levels (PAL) program, which aligns with the Elementary Swimming curriculum.

Student Council and Groups

Student Leadership 

In the TKS High School, we create a student-driven environment of opportunities designed to amplify the voices of students so they may lead, be empowered to enact positive change, and build an inclusive school culture and community.

The High School Student Executive Council promotes positive communication between students, faculty and administration to build community.

The student council comprises an elected President and Vice-President, Grade-level Representatives, Committee Chairs, a Publicist and Treasurer.

The student council has three areas of focus with authentic leadership work driven by dynamic committees of students supported by staff mentors:

  1. The Spirit Committee builds spirit and a sense of belonging through community events, such as Assemblies, Pep Rallies, Tidal Wave activities and hosting an Iftar
  2. The Grade Level Advisory Committee leads grade-level activities and advocates on behalf of the student body

The Service Committee promotes activities that enact positive change, such as a people-oriented Care Committee, environment-oriented Effect Club, and a communications-focused Student Media Crew.
