Extra Curricular Activities (ECAs)
At LEH International School Foshan, we believe that a truly excellent education extends far beyond the classroom. Our comprehensive Extra-Curricular Activities (ECAs) programme is a cornerstone of our educational philosophy, designed to ignite passion, nurture talent, and develop the character and resilience essential for future success. We are dedicated to providing a dynamic and expansive platform where every student can discover their strengths, explore new horizons, and grow into well-rounded, confident individuals.
A Message from Our ECA Coordinator
Our ECA programme is integral to the LEH Foshan experience. It exists to provide every student with the opportunity to explore their existing passions with depth and to stumble upon new ones they never knew they had. Seeing students collaborate, create, and challenge themselves outside the traditional classroom is a testament to their growing character.
We are particularly proud of the leadership opportunities embedded within the programme, from student-led clubs to award initiatives, which empower students to take ownership and inspire their peers. This focus on holistic development ensures our students are not only academically accomplished but also equipped with the skills and confidence to thrive in their future endeavours.
– Mr Aaron Laver, ECA Coordinator

The bonds forged, the challenges overcome, and the talents discovered through our ECAs contribute to a rich tapestry of experience that defines a student's journey at LEH Foshan and lays a robust foundation for the future.
We invite every student to explore this vibrant aspect of school life, to discover their passions, and to unlock their full potential as well-rounded individuals prepared for the world ahead.
