At Yokohama International School, all learners have the power to pursue their passions, stretch their skills, and build connections across our community. Our wide range of activities and athletics gives creative, and athletic pursuits equal value, helping students develop as confident, balanced individuals.
Activities meet before school, during lunch, or after school, depending on the club. Some are seasonal while others run year-round. All offer opportunities for leadership, collaboration, and exploration. Students are encouraged to define their own student experience by exploring activities and clubs that YIS has to offer.
