Extracurriculars

“But, above all it is the education of adolescents that is important, because adolescence is the time when the child enters on the state of adulthood and becomes a member of society.” ~Dr. Maria Montessori

The benefits of extracurriculars are vast. Students who engage in extracurricular activities have additional social and emotional development opportunities through group interactions with peers. They are able to explore new or existing interests. They are able to gain new, and strengthen existing, skills, build peer and/or mentor relationships, and take on challenging leadership roles. This builds confidence in adolescents as they mature through the third plane of development.

In addition to personal growth and skill development, involvement in these extracurricular activities can reflect positively on the character and type of leader and learner a student may be in their next community after high school. This is why Hershey Montessori School offers a wide range of extracurricular clubs and activities. Students are also given the opportunity to pursue their passions by organizing new activities as additional interests arise.
