Extracurricular activities at Sampoerna Academy are talent and interest development programs designed to complement students' academic learning across its five campuses, from L'Avenue Jakarta, BSD, Sentul, and Surabaya, to Medan. The program covers a wide range of fields, from sports such as swimming and taekwondo, to arts such as painting and modern dance, to science through Junior Lab Indonesia, allowing students to explore their potential beyond formal class hours. Through a STEAM approach and project based learning, Sampoerna Academy encourages students to build discipline, time management, and self confidence through non academic activities. As a result, many students across campuses have won awards at national and international competitions, ranging from math olympiads and art competitions to sports tournaments. This article covers the range of extracurricular activities available at each Sampoerna Academy campus, along with highlights of the latest achievements earned by students from each campus in various competitions.

Extracurricular Highlights at Sampoerna Academy

Sampoerna Academy offers a fairly complete range of extracurricular options that students can join across campuses, including:

• Swimming
• Basketball
• Archery
• Painting
• Modern dance
• Wushu
• Ceramics
• Junior Lab Indonesia
• Taekwondo
• Football
• Gravilla gymnastics

These activities do not only serve as an outlet for hobbies, but also play an important role in shaping students' character. Through extracurricular activities, students learn to work together as a team, sharpen their social skills, and build the discipline that ultimately supports their academic performance in class.

Interestingly, this extracurricular program is available starting from preschool all the way through high school. With structured coaching from an early age, students have enough time to hone their skills before eventually being ready to compete on the national and international stage.

The approach used goes beyond routine practice, as it draws on the STEAM concept (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics), which combines project based learning with hands on practical experience. This way, students are not only trained to master one particular field, but are also encouraged to think critically and creatively when solving challenges in every activity they take part in. Each campus also has experienced coaches and mentors who help guide students according to their individual interests, allowing their potential to develop optimally from an early age.
