Extracurricular activities

Personal growth occurs hand in hand with relational growth. This is why the Thomas More school, with a view to innovative teaching, guarantees every child – regardless of age and individual frailty – the opportunity to benefit from curricular and extracurricular services such as trips, walks, educational visits or in-depth workshops.
Today the cooperative manages educational and training initiatives aimed at children, young people and adolescents: school (primary, secondary and high school), summer camps, curricular and extra-curricular educational activities, cultural, sporting and artistic activities.

Inside the structure there is a theater with a capacity of 90 people. Here, children have the opportunity to
attend theater workshops that allow them to get involved through the movement, reading, re-writing and staging of a text.
The theatrical activity arises from the need to learn, experiment and use techniques of illustration and
manipulation of traditional materials to develop everyone’s creative skills.
The goal of the activity is not to become great actors, but to acquire a greater awareness of oneself and one’s body in relation to each other and the space, as well as to develop the ability to work in a group in a protected context, mistakes are thus never censored, but accepted as everyone’s starting point.

Singing is a discipline that works on the correct use of one’s voice. Singing courses, collective or individual, are held by qualified musicians and teachers. The choral singing workshops are also aimed at adults (teachers and parents), in order to the spirit of community.

The school recognizes the importance of developing musical skills in children, starting with the use of an
instrument. In fact, it is possible to participate in collective or individual musical instrument courses held by qualified musicians and teachers.

Not all students are the same, and not all of them follow the same learning rhythms: the school offers its students the possibility of a guided study service, an internal afterschool that is run by qualified teachers to fill any gaps or enhance certain skills. The service is offered to primary students on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, and to secondary students on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

The school offers a service of recovery and strengthening of skills and knowledge, provided to primary school students from other institutions. The goal is to build with them a method to makes their study as autonomous as possible. Children are offered an attentive and adult eye enhancing their potential and taking care, in addition to skills, to self-esteem and autonomy.
