EXTRACURRICULAR NOVELTIES 2024-25
Teams that win, and compete with fair play
Hi, I’m Rudy, coordinator of extracurricular sports. I am very excited about this project, because last school year our teams won 4 championships in Terrassa and a second place at national level, with great sportsmanship and fair play.
I think that this year the sport will continue to be the talk of Gresol International American School. I encourage you to participate!
The after-school program offers a wide variety of activities, from kindergarten to high school and of course activities for parents.
GRESOL International-American School offers a wide variety of extracurricular activities that serve as an excellent complement to the development of our students. In addition, all activities are carried out during school hours, thus optimizing day-to-day time.
Our activities are designed to inspire students, enhance learning, develop skills and foster new friendships.
The activities are taught by teachers of the school together with professional specialists, for a better complementary development of the school activity.
