Student Life

Clubs and Activities

Outside of the classroom, SRDS students participate in a vibrant culture of clubs, organizations, and activities to enrich their learning experience.  Participation fosters student growth in the school community and promotes engagement with personal passions and areas of curiosity.  Club meeting time is built into the school day to ensure students make connections with their peers and build their resumes early, without having to worry about it conflicting with sports or other after-school commitments.  

There are abundant opportunities for students to participate and lead in an array of extracurricular activities.  Below is a list of clubs, publications, and co-curricular programs available to all SRDS Upper School students. Additionally, students with unique passions have the ability to start new clubs. The list is constantly expanding and evolving in response to the interests of our student body.
