The clubs they join, the stages they perform on, the competitions they enter. This is where a lot of children find out what they're actually made of.
We offer a minimum of four to six structured clubs each term. Every club has a staff lead, a meeting schedule, and clear outcomes these are enrichment, not free time.
Coding, digital projects, and creative computing for students who want to go further than regular computer science lessons.
Grade 3 and aboveDrawing, painting, and mixed media in a relaxed but purposeful creative space. Student artwork displayed and celebrated throughout the year.
All agesImprovisation, scripted performance, and stagecraft building confidence, communication, and presence in children of every personality type.
Grade 3 and aboveFor children who love words. Writing workshops, reading circles, book discussions, and student-produced stories that are actually worth reading.
Grade 3 and aboveExperiments, projects, and investigations beyond the classroom syllabus. Curiosity is the only entry requirement.
Grade 3 and aboveStructured argument, critical thinking, and the art of persuasion. Producing children who can think on their feet and articulate their ideas confidently.
Grade 5 and aboveEvery student participates in at least two physical education sessions per week. PE is planned and purposeful. not a break from learning, but a different kind of learning.
Inter-class and inter-house competitions are organised every term, and we participate in Kitwe zone sports events where available. No student is excluded from physical activity without a medical note.
The annual concert and prize-giving is one of the biggest events on our calendar. And it's not something we dust off six weeks beforehand.
Music, drama, and performance run through the whole school year. Student writing and artwork is displayed around the school because the kid who commands a stage matters just as much as the one at the top of the class.
These events are locked into the calendar at the start of every year and communicated to families well in advance.
From Baby Class to Grade 7, there is a place and a programme waiting for your child at Shalva Academy.
