MLS Clubs & Activities Program

The Manhattan Lower School Clubs & Activities Program provides a broad range of clubs, activities and trips for our diverse student population. These experiences afford students the opportunities to socialize in a less formal academic setting.

During the school day, various clubs meet at recess under the supervision of highly-trained Windward faculty members. Clubs gather one or more times per week for an 8 -week session, with some spanning the school year. Students are encouraged to propose new clubs based on their interests. To date, our clubs have included:

• Chorus: 3rd and 4th graders learn to sing in beautiful harmony.
• The Yoga Club: Students are introduced to age-appropriate yoga poses as well as breathing and mindfulness techniques.

More traditional after-school activities are also an essential part of the Activities Program. The school year is divided into trimesters – the fall session commencing in September, the winter session kicking off in December, and the spring session getting underway in March. The overarching goal of the program is to appeal to as many students as possible by incorporating varied activities and season-specific sports that pique our students’ interests and promote their abilities. Instructors are trained Windward faculty members and outside professionals that provide expert instruction.
