Sports & Activities
QSI Shenzhen students benefit from comprehensive Sports and Extracurricular activities from Early Years through Secondary IV.
Physical Education and extracurricular activities are an integral part of the QSI Shenzhen student experience. We passionately believe a high-quality sports program gives students a chance to be healthy, develop relationships, and participate in learning opportunities away from the classroom.
QSI’s athletic program offers students the opportunity to learn sportsmanship and team building as they become a part of the community. Students can participate in soccer, basketball, volleyball, badminton, touch rugby, and cross country.
We are a proud member of The Association of China and Mongolia International School (ACAMIS), Southern Delta Region Conference (SDRC), Pearl River Conference (PRC), and Shenzhen International Schools Athletic Conference (SISAC). Throughout the school year, middle school and secondary students participate in memorable events hosted by these conferences.
At QSI, our athletic program is designed to empower students to reach their fullest potential—physically, mentally, and socially. We emphasize the importance of sportsmanship and teamwork, providing opportunities for students to engage in various sports while fostering a sense of community. Through our program, students not only improve their athletic skills but also develop key qualities such as responsibility, trustworthiness, and collaboration, aligning with QSI's commitment to holistic student development.

Overall, QSI's commitment to a rich extracurricular program ensures that every child has the opportunity to explore new interests and maximize their potential.
Experiential Learning
In the spring, primary, middle school and secondary students participate in Experiential Learning (EL) Week, designed to allow them to explore subjects or projects, reflect on their learning, and communicate its relevance. Projects fall within five themes: How the World Works, Service Learning, Past/Present/Future, Fine Arts, and Team Building. This program enables students to break away from traditional classroom routines and engage in a variety of hands-on activities.
Experiential Learning Week typically includes both local and international opportunities. Activities around Shenzhen allow students to participate in experiences related to their interests, while international trips enhance their cultural understanding. Past offerings have included 3D printing, drone racing, and cooking, along with themed trips to Australia, Japan, Spain, the UK, and the USA.
