Co-curricular activities
At Paradis International College we understood that the possibilities of learning are endless and that preparing for the future cannot be achieved only by going through the school curriculum.

Arts and culture
At Paradis International College we aim to educate all children to understand and appreciate the arts, we want most to participate in at least one artistic activity, and the best to excel in an artistic field, because the skills they will acquire now, they will last a lifetime.
We believe that the main purpose of artistic education is to contribute to the development of complete adults, capable of leading healthy and productive lives in the society of the future.
Whether it’s painting, drawing or modeling ceramics, whether we’re talking about learning to play a musical instrument, performing in bands or choirs, acting in plays or musicals, or to design with the help of 3D printers, there are many opportunities for artistic expression in our school.

Sports
At Paradis International College we emphasize the health and well-being of each student. Therefore, we encourage all students to get involved in sports activities, as they play a key role in long-term psycho-emotional and physical development.
In addition to physical education classes, approximately 60% of the school’s students participate in handball, soccer, basketball, aikido and taekwondo clubs.
The children are involved in sports competitions between classes, at the primary level a football championship is organized, and at the secondary and high school level, a basketball one.
The new campus of Paradis International College benefits from a fully equipped gymnasium, an indoor swimming pool and two professional night sports pitches, one with artificial turf, quartz sand and rubber granules and one multi-sport with a tartan surface.
Moreover, the new campus also includes a well-being area, which will be used by students and teachers, with a fitness room, salt room and two saunas (one with infrared and one wet). These facilities will be staffed by specialized staff to guarantee the safety of our students.
Camps and trips
From the first night away from home in a large group, to multi-week trips in the high school years, Paradis International College’s program of camps, theme trips or survival schools broadens our students’ horizons, offers them a wide range of challenges and changes their view of themselves and the world around them.
These opportunities to participate in activities away from family and school environments challenge students to be independent and develop their research, thinking and communication skills.
All these activities are led by qualified and experienced staff as Paradis International College puts children’s safety first
