Co-curricular Programs

At the American School of Bombay, we believe in offering our students a limitless education, where learning extends far beyond the classroom. Our co-curricular programs are central to this vision, providing rich opportunities for students to explore passions, develop talents, and build the mindset and skills needed to thrive in a dynamic world.

Through a dynamic range of creative pursuits, athletics, technology, leadership, and service, our programs empower students with the courage, integrity, and optimism to pursue their dreams and lead with purpose.

ASB offers these opportunities through Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs), Holiday Programs, and student- and staff-led clubs that foster collaboration, resilience, leadership, and intrinsic motivation.

Dream. Learn. Serve.

This is more than just ASB’s school motto — it’s the heartbeat of our co-curricular program. Whether on the field, on stage, in a lab, or leading a community initiative, students are constantly encouraged to:

• Dream boldly, by exploring their interests and stepping out of their comfort zones,
• Learn deeply, through meaningful, hands-on experiences, and
• Serve compassionately, by making a positive difference in the lives of others.

Through a dynamic range of creative pursuits, athletics, technology, leadership, and service, our programs empower students with the courage, integrity, and optimism to pursue their dreams and lead with purpose.

Guided by Our Learning Objectives

ASB’s co-curricular programs are intentionally aligned with our School-Wide Learning Objectives. We ensure that:

• All ASB students are creative and adaptable, using inquiry and relevant skills in the continual pursuit of knowledge, understanding, and personal meaning.
• All ASB students apply attitudes and skills to pursue their dreams with courage, integrity, and resilience.
• All ASB students identify interpersonal, social, and environmental challenges and take action to positively impact their world.
• All ASB students embrace their India experience, enabling them to become more effective global citizens.

Whether collaborating on a theater production, competing in athletics, designing robotics projects, or leading change through service, students grow in confidence, critical thinking, empathy, and leadership.
