Clubs and Activities
At the Adelson Campus, social, enriching, supportive and celebratory gatherings occur throughout the year. Students thrive when they are part of a larger community, so all are encouraged to participate in and contribute to the extra-curricular life of the school. It is our hope that students will leave the Adelson Campus with an extraordinary education, life-long friendships, and many positive experiences to remember.
Athletic competitions and performing arts events provide fun, entertainment, and fellowship. Both Middle and Upper School dances are scheduled throughout the year and clubs and activities are offered at every grade level. A sample list of some of our clubs and activities is provided below:

Yearbook Staff

Yearbook Club is for students in grades 6 - 12. Under the supervision of Editors Samantha Owens and Sarah Israel, the students will help create the annual AEC Yearbook. Students help to take pictures at school and community events, and then organize them into yearbook pages. They help to create the layout of the yearbook, create collages, and develop the overall theme. It is their time to shine and help make memories of AEC last a lifetime. The group meets 1-2 times per week starting in September and finishing up in February or March depending on deadlines.
