As a school that values community and interpersonal relationships, Next strongly encourages students to take part in extracurricular activities and join or start clubs as a way to connect with like-minded people. Even though our school is small, areas of personal interest continue to grow and grow, and clubs allow students to explore those interests in a safe environment with others who are hoping to learn more.
There is no formal process or application; you just need to show up and take part in the activities. And, if it’s not right for you, leaving a club is just as easy. Starting a new club is also an easy process. All you need to do is have a clear idea of what your club will be about and find a staff member to serve as the advisor. That staff member will help you get the word out, plan meetings and activities, and even help you set a budget for activities. And clubs can have any purpose. Maybe you want to play Ultimate Frisbee, or explore Anime, or read books. There can be something for everyone to try.
Here are some of the student and staff started clubs and activities and activities already at Next:
