Clubs and Activities

JKSA Clubs take place during our iSTEM time, Monday-Thursday.  This is a time where learners have the opportunity to choose something they are interested in, or explore something they haven't done before.  We offer everything from Non-electronic Games to Fandom Club!  Click the tabs to read more information about each club.

Work hard to prepare for the FLL competition, and possibly the TCEA competition.  Please note that ALL STEM learners do robotics as part of the Mechatronics class.  *Some Saturdays required.

Collaborate!  Communicate! Compete!  Enjoy time with your peers playing non-electronic games. *Donated non-electronic games always welsome.

Step away from the screens and enjoy some sunshine, fresh air, and movement with a variety of outdoors sports and games (weather-permitting) with your JKSA friends.

View and discuss various aspects of cinema- including genre, film techniques, and historical context.

Search for treasure, explore strange and wonderful realms, battle deadly foes, cast magic spells- You can do all this and more in Dungeons and Dragons!  Guided by a dungeon master, you will weave a story with a group of other adventurers.  The only limit is your imagination!

This club offers a fun and creative space to explore acting, stagecraft, and storytelling. You'll learn about different aspects of theater, from improvisation to scriptwriting, and even performing. No experience is necessary—just enthusiasm and imagination!

Step away from that screen and use this time to draw and create using pencil, paper, pens, and any other (approved) supplies you bring!
