Dar El Tarbiah American Schools provide a wide range of extra-curricular activities designed to stimulate, excite, and give students a structured but enjoyable way to make friends and learn new skills outside the classroom. We encourage staff and students to take part in after-school activities at clubs.
Not only does it enhance the sense of community and togetherness at the School but it helps students become settled more quickly better understand their goals and interests, and integrate faster with their classmates. From sports teams to Film Club, Amnesty International, Debating Society, and our Earth Awareness clubs, students work and play together in a way that's fun, fulfilling, and breaks down the barriers between age groups and between students and staff.
There's more to Dar El Tarbiah American Schools than just the classroom. Start exploring our activities here.

Trips
Trips outside of school form an integral and influential part in the development of all our students. Even if the trip appears to be ‘just for fun’, most trips have a specific curricular purpose, such as learning the history of Ancient Egypt at the tombs and temples of Luxor or examining the tourism industry in El Gouna. Others develop individual skills and character, such as the Ski Trips, or combine theses with skills to support learning and further progress,such as preparing for university admissions during the Sixth Form trip to Europe.Type of Trips
