ECA’s at GISAD

MORE THAN JUST CLASSES – DISCOVER, LEARN, HAVE FUN!

At the German International School Abu Dhabi (GISAD), we offer our students a diverse and exciting full-day program. Our extracurricular activities (AGs) give children the opportunity to explore their interests, develop new skills, and have fun together with friends. Whether it’s sports, creative activities, languages, or strategic challenges – there’s something for everyone!

With the start of the new semester, we are introducing an updated AG schedule featuring both new and familiar offerings. Most AGs will continue, and we are excited to present some thrilling new activities.
