Non-formal Education
The "Progress" International American School students accumulate informal knowledge and skills alongside their formal education through various clubs and projects. The formation of informal education as a distinct area began in 2016 with the establishing of the Civic Education Club. Today, approximately 20 types of clubs, tailored to the interests and needs of students, operate across all three school campuses, involving several age groups. The activities of the clubs are fully synchronized across the three cities.
As a successful educational business organization, the school promotes the development of programming, robotics, business, STEM, and entrepreneurship skills starting from the first grade. The programs include both theoretical and practical training courses. Students engage in hands-on projects to create programs and products that address real-world problems. They get acquainted with the work of various business institutions, participate in competitions, and organize exhibitions and sales of their entrepreneurial products.
In Progress, non-formal education is integrated into the learning process. Along with theoretical knowledge, students develop practical skills. These informal activities enable them to showcase their abilities and interests better, set future goals, and achieve continuous growth. Furthermore, this approach fosters both adolescents' mental and physical development, provides them with essential knowledge, instills a healthy lifestyle, cultivates civic consciousness based on liberal and democratic values, and helps them understand their rights and responsibilities before their family, society, and country.
