Building character, connection, and confidence beyond the classroom
At Canggu Community School, we often say that learning doesn’t stop when the bell rings. In fact, some of the most meaningful learning happens after school — on the pitch, in the studio, on stage, or through student-led clubs that reflect passion and purpose.
This week’s blog is a celebration of extracurricular activities (ECA), After School Activities (ASA), and our proud participation in the Bali School Sports Association (BSSA). Together, these opportunities play a powerful role in helping our students become well-rounded, resilient, and joyful learners.
You can learn more about how we support holistic student growth at ccsbali.com.
At CCS, we believe in educating the whole child. That means nurturing academic excellence while also developing creativity, teamwork, emotional intelligence, and leadership.
Extracurriculars aren’t just “add-ons” — they’re a core part of our student experience, aligned with our values of engagement, balance, and learning through action.
Our ASA program offers a rich variety of options, from surfing, robotics, and Model United Nations to creative writing, visual arts, and Balinese dance. These programs give students a chance to try new things, deepen personal interests, and develop new friendships across grade levels.
We often hear from parents and students alike: “ASA is where my child truly shines.”
CCS is a proud member of the Bali School Sports Association (BSSA), which brings together international schools across the island for seasonal competitions in football, basketball, athletics, swimming, and more.
Participation in BSSA fosters not only athletic skills, but also sportsmanship, discipline, and school pride. Our student-athletes learn what it means to work toward shared goals, win with humility, and lose with grace — lessons that extend far beyond the field.
Music, drama, and the visual arts are thriving at CCS Bali. Through school productions, concerts, exhibitions, and talent showcases, students learn to express themselves, take creative risks, and build confidence in their voice and identity.
In a world where creative thinking and communication are increasingly valued, the arts give our students a powerful advantage — and a healthy outlet for self-discovery and joy.
When we talk about “holistic education” at CCS, we’re referring to the full spectrum of a student’s development — academically, physically, socially, and emotionally. ECAs, ASAs, and BSSA are essential ingredients in that recipe.
They help students:
And that’s something we deeply value here at ccsbali.com.
Extracurricular life at CCS is vibrant, inclusive, and constantly evolving based on student interests and community input. It’s a reflection of our belief that every student should have the opportunity to explore, engage, and excel in ways that are personally meaningful.
So whether your child is kicking a ball, coding an app, performing on stage, or leading a service club — they are growing. And that’s what education is all about.
Until next week — stay curious, stay active, and keep exploring what lights you up.
