Athletics & Activities - American School of Warsaw

Welcome to the home of the Warsaw Warriors! We believe extra-curricular activities help students develop important life skills, as well as cultivating diverse interests, promoting involvement in the school community, raising self-esteem, and building good communication skills.

We encourage all students to get involved in at least one extra-curricular activity each year. Our elementary school students have a variety of academic, athletic, social, and games-based after-school activities to choose from every 6 weeks. Our middle and high school teams and clubs take part in on-campus and international tournaments throughout Europe.

Elementary School

ES students are offered a variety of academic, athletic, social and games-based activities to choose from during four blocks of Elementary School activities.

All school sponsored activities occur after the formal school day, from 15:45 - 16:30, with some fee-based activities running slightly longer. Over the course of the school year, ASW offers ES students the opportunity to participate in four blocks of activities; Fall Block One (16th September - 25th October), Fall Block Two (November 4th - December 13th), Winter Block (January 7th - March 20th) and Spring Block (March 23rd - June 5th).

Middle School

There are a number of after-school activities available at the Middle School level, including, athletics, clubs, cultural exchanges, academic competitions, student government and other student-led organizations. Every attempt is made to coordinate the schedules of all activity groups to allow students to experience as many activities as possible. Parental guidance is important in helping students decide how to balance sport and club participation with academics, family life, and special interests such as music lessons and engagements in the community. Examples include:
