Sunday Workshops

Sunday Workshops

Outside of classes, all students take part in our exciting and varied summer school programme of activities and events.

Sundays are for recharging, discovering something new, and connecting. Relax, explore a new skill, or spend time doing something you already love with our varied Sunday workshops.

Sunday Workshops at ISSOS

At ISSOS, Sundays are about balance, giving students a chance to unwind after a busy week of classes, evening programmes, and cultural trips. Sunday mornings are relaxed, allowing students the time to sleep in a bit later, enjoy a slower day, or explore the beautiful campus towns with friends. In the afternoon, we run our exciting Sunday Workshops. Led by our incredibly talented teachers and counselors, these sessions are designed to be creative, fun, and enriching. Students sign up based on their interests, choosing from a range of workshops each week that reflect the unique talents of our staff.

What are Sunday Workshops?

Sunday Workshops are a much-loved part of the ISSOS experience, offering the perfect blend of relaxation and enrichment at the end of a busy week. 


After weekdays packed with learning, evening programmes and trips, Sundays give a welcome pause with time to rest and reset for the week ahead. In the afternoons, students sign up for workshops run by our talented staff, who bring their own unique skills and passions to the programme. This means that what’s on offer is always varied, one week might include yoga and portrait drawing, another might feature street dance or football skills. 


Workshops are light-hearted and engaging, giving students the freedom to try something they might not have tried before. Whether it’s a first-time interest or a chance to spend time on a personal hobby, Sunday Workshops are all about enjoyment.

They also offer another chance for students to meet people outside their academic or elective groups and to build friendships through shared interests.
