Preferred term

extracurricular activities  

Definition

  • Extracurricular activities encompass a broad range of organized adult-sanctioned activities that fall outside the scope of the regular curriculum and usually occur during the after-school hours. They can be sponsored by either the school or the community, though most research has focused on school-based extracurricular contexts.
