Community Programs
Our community is a busy, fun and educational environment before, during, and after the school day. EBI students and non-EBI students, from around the Bay area, have the opportunity to participate in an array of extracurricular programs at EBI that enrich their lives and support them in exploring their own personal interests. For more information on any of these programs, please contact the EBI Community Programs Office at programs@ebinternacional.org (link sends e-mail)
Enrichment Classes
EBI offers a variety of enrichment classes in Spanish and English during the school year that provide students with the oportunity to engage in structured choice activities that encourage them to explore their own creativity and interests. These enrichment classes vary from session to session and expose children to different experiences that help them to discover new talents and skills.
Due to the current pandemic, Enrichment Classes are offered for EBI Students ONLY.
To ensure that all Enrichment Classes offered at EBI are aligned with EBI's Pandemic Response Plan, we have prioritized Enrichment Instructors and Vendors that have a previous relationship with EBI, and share our commitment to the health and safety of our community.
Please note that we are continuing to explore for the fall and winter, additional enrichment opportunities with providers that meet our school expectations and COVID-19 requirements. Stay tuned!
