Activities or pursuits that fall outside the scope of regular curriculum but are part of educational environment, such as clubs, sports, and volunteer work.
Think of extracurriculars like the toppings on a pizza. The pizza itself (the crust, sauce, and cheese) is your core curriculum - it's essential. But the toppings (extracurricular activities) add variety and flavor to your overall experience.
Co-curricular activities: These are activities that complement what students are learning in school but aren't part of the standard academic curriculum. They often have an educational component and are typically supervised by school staff.
Intramural sports: These are recreational sports organized within a particular institution or community. Unlike varsity sports, they're not focused on competition with other schools.
Service Learning: This is a method of teaching that combines classroom instruction with meaningful community service.
