Are you curious about what makes your child’s school experience even more exciting and beneficial?
Does your child have enough time to invest in extra-academic activities?
These fun and educational trails are not just a side note; they play a big role in your child’s growth and development. It’s all extra (curricular) activities! Get it? Its still academic after all.
The NCERT study on extracurricular activities was conducted in 2017-18. The study surveyed over 10,000 students and found that students who participated in extracurricular activities were more likely to have higher levels of academic achievement, social skills, and emotional well-being.
From building life skills to improving academic performance as well as boosting self-confidence, it’s a win-win; it covers and improves every necessary 21st-century skill.
But what exactly is it?
What are Extracurricular activities?
Extracurricular activities are activities that students participate in outside of the regular school day. They can include sports, arts, clubs, and community service for betterment of the society
It not only helps students in their academic studies but their overall health and well-being. For eg.:
- Students who participate in sports are more likely to be physically fit and have lower rates of obesity.
- Students who participate in arts and music activities are more likely to have better academic performance and higher levels of creativity, and
- Students who participate in community service activities are more likely to be civically engaged and have a sense of purpose.
And the list goes on.
Types of Extracurricular Activities
There are many different types of extracurricular activities available to students. Some examples of extracurricular activities include:
- Sports
- Arts
- Clubs
- Community service
- Volunteer work
- Part-time jobs
- Summer camps
- Travel
- And more!
But the thing with traditional schools is that students don’t get enough time to participate in such activities and miss out on all the fun as they are being forced to develop academically because of the peer pressure they have from their schools. It’s hard for them to balance these things.
Children travelling to school alone makes it harder for them to focus on other stuff because that time is gone and becomes useless where no activities can be done.
Or if your family is one of those frequently travelling ones, your child will miss out on so many activities, which include a group of friends.
Sucks right?
But wait, what if we tell you, we have a solution for that?
A 100% online school with a CBSE syllabus structure and not only this, students get best of the class interactive sessions including extracurricular activities.

- Talents and interests
- Learn new skills, and
- Make new friends.
Here are some extracurricular activities we offer at Cyboard:

We provide dance classes as part of our activities, so your little one stays fit and enjoys himself or herself even while taking sessions with us.
Our dance classes teach students different dance styles, such as ballet, jazz, modern dance, and, of course, bhangra!
Music:
Everybody loves music, and it’s a universal language. Whether you listen to it or sing it, it has no bounds, regardless of what region it comes from.
We at Cyboard provide music classes to our lovely students so they can explore not only their studies but also to help them recognize their inner strengths and abilities if they want to excel in their music careers too.
Storytelling:
This is where the magic happens.
As much as children love listening to stories, we at Cyboard provide more storytelling sessions because we love it too!
It’s such a simple yet effective way to improve one’s listening and communication skills. Not only this, but storytelling helps children visualize and imagine stuff to better understand the situation or the way the story is going.
More brain power, you see?
Storytelling is a fun and engaging way to learn and grow, isn’t it?
Physical Activities:
Time to get active!
Just like kids love storytelling, at Cyboard, we’re all about physical activities too.
It’s a simple yet effective way to enhance a child’s physical well-being and coordination. Physical activities, like exercise and yoga, are a fun and energetic way for kids to stay active and healthy. They also help kids build strong bodies and teamwork skills.
More strength and togetherness!
Coding:
Is your child a tech freak? If yes, we can provide an even environment for them!
At Cyboard School, we start teaching coding in Grade 3, giving students an early advantage and a heads-up in digital literacy, problem-solving, and creativity.
Let them explore how technology is playing a crucial role in today’s world and how they can make it even better!
Theatre:
Stepping into the spotlight can make children a bit nervous, but here at Cyboard, we provide theatre classes to overcome this fear of showcasing or presenting in front of an audience.
It not only helps develop confidence in kids but also makes them better and clearer communicators, which is the most essential 21st-century skill that these extracurricular activities can help your child with today!
Plus, it’s fun too! So it’s a win-win!

They are the future of our nation, and we will help them build it!
To sum it up
Cyboard School offers a wide range of such extracurricular activities to help students develop in every sector, be it creative, where they can showcase how creative they are, if they want to become good communicators and present themselves as leaders one day, if they want to work on thinking critically and solve problems, or if they want to collaborate and be a better team player.
