Looking for extracurricular activities to develop your child’s personal growth? These classes can supplement what a child learns at school with practical, hands-on knowledge, while helping to identify and hone talent. Most importantly, soft skills such as communication, compassion and leadership are often developed through after-school classes and workshops.

As extracurricular classes in school tend to fill up quickly, it’s best to scout around for external class providers. From art classes to sports, tech and coding workshops to the stage with dance classes and drama courses for kids, you’re sure to find something to keep your toddlers and teens entertained and stimulated after the school bell rings.
