 Not all students excel academically. Experiencing success or being 
recognized for a contribution to a co-curricular activity can greatly 
improve students’ self-esteem. Oftentimes, this can have a positive 
impact on performance in the classroom.

 A lot of the skills that lie at the heart of extracurricular activities can be 
used during core academic subjects. Education requires solid problem-
solving skills, memory, creativity, and critical thinking. 
 To varying degrees, you can find an extracurricular activity that has an 
impact on these areas.

 Students who participate in activities beyond the academic curriculum 
dedicate their time and manage the school work as well as co-curricular 
works. This improves their sense of commitment which helps them in the 
long run.
