Student Clubs

New Summit Academy offers many student-lead clubs, depending on the interest of the students. Some examples of current and/or past clubs include: surfing, rock climbing, skateboarding, art, chess, film, video gaming, cooking, yoga, biking, fishing, running, leadership, garden, and more!

Below is just a sampling of some of our longest-standing clubs on campus. Enjoy!

Climbing Club

A consistent club that always attracts a number of students. With a rock wall on campus, students can always improve their skills.

Film Club

A medium sized club that attracts those who love to watch and analyze films. The films that are watched are not "mainstream." They often require a lot of attention and force you to think about what is happening. The films can be rated R and are followed by a group discussion.
​

Cooking Club

​Students learn about food and healthy eating. They cook dinner for all staff and students every Sunday. They learn typical Costa Rican dishes and how to prepare their own meals.

Surf Club

Surf club is designed to provide kids an opportunity to learn a new sport in some of the safest and best conditions. It is consistently the largest club on campus.

Running Club

A small club that runs once or twice a week for P.E. They also race once or twice a quarter. The races are 10 kilometers long most of the time, however some groups train for the half marathon.

Gardening Club 

Whether working in our little greenhouse or out in the garden, the Garden Club takes advantage of Costa Rican rain and sunshine to raise a variety of herbs and vegetables.

Skate Club

Skate club is a small club that practices their skills twice a week during P.E. They go on outings to skate parks in San Jose periodically. 

Fishing Club

Students head out to the ocean once a month to fish a rocky point for perch and bass.

Art club

Students get together in a space where they let their creativity flow onto the canvas. 

Music Club

Get together to jam in the music studio or record and mix your own music!

Ultimate Frisbee Club

(currently not active, but always a possibility!)
Teamwork and fun are what Ultimate Frisbee is all about. Our fearless coaches lead us to games and tournaments all over our region.

Back-country (Camping) Club

Bonding with nature and getting in touch with our "salvaje" sides is the heart of the Camping Club.

Basketball Club

Soccer Club

Current Events Club

... and many more!  The possibilities are endless.

NSA hosts between 10-20 clubs at any given time. All clubs are created and designed based on student interests. So if you have a passion or an interest, get 3-4 other guys involved and start a club!
