Expats: Beyond the classroom: Extracurricular benefits every expat parent should know

When kids feel good about themselves and their place in the school community, learning in the classroom becomes easier, more enjoyable, and more meaningful. “Experiencing diverse activities early on helps children understand their strengths and passions, which can guide their future academic and personal choices,” says Dr. Stanislav Svoboda, founder and CEO of Cesta k úspěchu. 

The research supports this: studies show that structured activities help children build confidence, feel more connected, and develop skills that extend well beyond school, while also supporting stress management, emotional regulation, memory, and problem-solving.
