As in most schools back in Japan, one day of the school year is given over to sports and this event at KLAS is called Kumolympics.

Recognizing the growing interest in Japan and Japanese culture, we open our doors one day a year to the public and give them an introduction to Japanese culture at an event we call Open House. Hundreds of people visit the school, tempted by the thought of tasting Japanese food, trying their hand at Japanese calligraphy or origami, watching traditional martial arts, or simply just trying on a kimono.

We have many kinds of activities supervised by teachers and organized by students. These include soccer, basketball, volleyball, skiing, tennis, swimming, social service (volunteering), music, chorus and drama to name but a few. KLAS is a member of the Swiss Group of International Schools and L' Association des Directeurs d' Instituts de la Suisse Romande. These memberships expand the diversity and number of events available to our students.
