"It is DoDEA policy that a student with a disability, or who has a record of a disability, or is regarded as having a disability, shall not be excluded from participating in, or be denied the benefits of, any DoDEA education program or activity; or be subjected to discrimination based solely on a disability." (DoDEA Al 2500.14, Section 4.a., p.2.)

All students are encouraged to participate in extracurricular activities whether they be athletic, academic or social in nature. These activities help to shape students, prepare them for success and are part of a well-rounded education. Our School offers many activities for students to choose from with after-school clubs varying each year. Our community also offers activities for students through the Youth Centers located at NAF Atsugi and Camp Zama.
