With a consistent educational philosophy of “Experiential learning”, The Dewey Schools provide students with an environment conducive to learning and exploration throughout their academic journey. By seamlessly integrating classroom lectures with engaging extracurricular activities, TDS-ers not only apply their intellect to the process of knowledge discovery but also engage all senses, emotions, and physical faculties, thereby shaping profound worldviews and life perspectives.
The Diverse Extracurricular Program at The Dewey Schools facilitates students’ self-discovery and personal development, equipping them with valuable tools to confidently step into the world and take charge of their futures.
Let’s highlight some prominent extracurricular activities that students have the opportunity to participate in throughout the academic year at The Dewey Schools:
1.Nature Excursions: These experiential learning trips outside the classroom inspire TDS-ers on their journey of knowledge exploration. Students immerse themselves in nature and visit culturally, artistically, scientifically, and historically rich locations to discover and learn new things.
2. Community Projects: Students cultivate empathy, community service spirit, and broaden their understanding of global and local issues. The school encourages students to research, design solutions, and initiate community projects and volunteer activities. Students are empowered to experiment with their own ideas and actions, confidently bringing positive values to the community.
3.Extracurricular Clubs: Students have the opportunity to explore their strengths and pursue their interests and passions through a variety of clubs focusing on academics, skills, arts, and sports. Additionally, they can independently brainstorm ideas, organize, and operate clubs, thereby expanding their knowledge across various life domains and developing 21st-century citizenship skills.
4.Annual Events: The school organizes over 50 diverse events each academic year, ranging from academic to talent-related fields, for students to participate in or become organizers. These events provide students with numerous memorable experiences, fostering confidence and proactiveness.
5. Summer Camps: Thoughtfully designed summer camp programs offer students vibrant and memorable summer days, fostering exceptional growth in awareness, critical thinking, and life skills through real-life experiences. It’s an opportunity for students to socialize and interact with peers of their age group. Moreover, students venture out into the world – experiencing growth through summer camps in Atlanta, USA, organized jointly by Mount Vernon School in collaboration with The Dewey Schools.
6. ‘We Are the World’ Project: This non-profit project, developed by The Dewey Schools with consultation from journalist and director Lai Bac Hai Dang – who has years of experience producing television programs for children – provides the best conditions for students to be creative, express their own viewpoints and stories through daily broadcasts on the ‘We Are the World’ channel.
