A fundamental principle of the CIS philosophy and its approach to child development is centered around holistic growth and comprehensive development.

Extracurricular activities play a pivotal role in the holistic development of students, enabling them to explore the physical, creative, and social aspects of their personalities while fostering career-related interests with like-minded individuals. This platform serves as an excellent means to break down barriers, impart real-world skills, and contribute to the development of self-esteem.

ECAs are mandatory for all students from grades 3 to 8, and they must enroll in at least one activity of their choice. Students are also welcome to participate in more than one activity. From grade 9 onwards, ECAs are optional.

These activities provide a range of skill-based options through various sports such as Basketball, Table Tennis, Cricket, and Football , which aim to enhance footwork, agility, hand-eye coordination, and encourage team spirit. For those inclined towards analytical and strategic thinking, we have offered Chess. To nurture the creative thinking of our students, Photography has been a highly sought-after option. For those keen on performing arts, Western Dance has been made available. We acknowledge the importance of self-defense education for our students, hence, the martial arts form of Taekwondo has been a popular activity among them. Moreover, for gadget enthusiasts with a knack for technology and engineering, we have included the option of Robotics. Lastly, Guitar and Vocals classes are offered to help students explore their musical talents and develop their skills. Playing the guitar can improve cognitive function, boost creativity, and reduce stress, while singing can help in improving breathing and posture, as well as boost confidence.

ECAs not only provide fun but also help students understand their preferences and aptitude. This data is utilized by our career counselors to help students select courses and activities related to career opportunities in the future.

Every student receives an assessment report along with a certificate at the end of the academic session. End-of-Year exhibitions/productions/tournaments are also held to showcase the progress that children have made in their chosen ECA activity. An age-appropriate school team in various sports has been formed, and students are encouraged to participate in tournaments and competitions within and outside the school.

ECA activities are conducted in two slots, one for students of Grades 3-5 and another for students of Grades 6-12, in order to impart age-appropriate training. The students are allowed a month’s trial period for ECA activities to confirm their chosen activity finally.

At CIS, we believe in the immense value of sports and other activities. Students who pursue extracurricular activities at an advanced level are provided with assistance to make up for missed lessons, enabling them to balance academics and non-academic activities.

We take pride in our students who have achieved national rankings in various sports such as basketball, football, golf, and chess and other sports and are pursuing these seriously at the state and national levels.
