About Co-Curricular Activities
At Yangon International School, we believe that learning extends far beyond the classroom. Our co-curricular programs are designed to nurture the whole child—building confidence, leadership, teamwork, and creativity. Whether students are exploring their athletic abilities, competing in academic challenges, or expressing themselves through the arts, there’s something for everyone to discover.

- Soccer

Through regular practices, tournaments, and inter-school competitions, students build physical skills while learning the importance of sportsmanship and resilience.
