Sports The school's sports teams compete in ISST and SCIS tournaments for basketball, tennis, soccer, baseball, softball and volleyball. REAL (Recreation, Enrichment, and Learning) program FIS has an after-school program known as REAL (Recreation, Enrichment, and Learning). Within the REAL Program, students can enroll in music, dance, or language courses, participate in sports or martial arts, sharpen their STEM skills or join our supervised Kids Club playgroups. Parents can participate, too – whether it's learning German or starting a new physical fitness routine – and classes are offered both during the day and into the evening. With more than 200 course offerings each year, the REAL Program provides yet another opportunity for FIS community members to pursue their passion and meet others. The REAL Program runs three separate terms per year; each is approximately 8-10 weeks in length. An online brochure is published prior to the start of each term with comprehensive information about the courses offered. The Arts FIS allows students to take part in many non-athletic activities in the performing arts, student groups, and various charitable projects. Notably, the school offers the opportunity for students to audition for the AMIS program, which hosts annual festivals for band, orchestra, jazz band and choir at different international schools. ==References==
