Clubs have been formed going back to all ancient civilizations of which we have any knowledge: for instance, the ancient Greek hetereiai or the Roman collegia. Their purpose is to allow people with a common interest to associate despite having no familial ties.
At Clapham School we recognize the natural human desire to pursue excellence in an area of interest with other like minded people. The shared enjoyment and sense of achievement can be powerfully formative. During the school day, all students participate together in many important educational goals, but some students will always want to develop their relationship with particular subjects and skills in a deeper way.
Therefore, Clapham School’s extracurricular clubs and ensembles seek to provide an avenue for students to associate around worthy pursuits in a way that fosters their love of learning and challenges them to go deeper. Joyful discovery doesn’t just occur in a classroom, it’s a way of life. And so, we offer a rich selection of clubs and ensembles to spur our students on in their pursuit of all things good, true and beautiful.
