What Are Core Activities?
All students engage in Core Activities that resonate with our school’s identity and mission.
During your two or three years here, you will have the opportunity to participate in meaningful activities with a purpose. You can choose the activities that are most interesting to you, but you must engage in a minimum of two areas during your time at UWC ISAK Japan.

Active Sports Program
The Active Sports program is for students who wish to participate in competitive sports. We follow a no-cut philosophy, so any student who demonstrates interest and shows commitment can participate on a team. Several student-led club sports are also active on campus. Active Sports have a “season” with regularly scheduled coached practices and competitive games/matches.
- Volleyball
- Competitive Dance
- Football (Soccer)
- Basketball
- Swimming Club
- Badminton
Student-Initiated Clubs
Our optional Student-Led Clubs enable you to follow your passion by joining, starting, and/or leading your own co-curricular activities. Student-led clubs and committees are sustained from year to year by students who choose to become activity leaders. All student leaders must participate in our group leader training program before leading any activity, and will have additional responsibilities such as managing the club’s budget and meeting bi-weekly with a faculty member for support.
