Extracurriculars
At Our Savior, our approach to education includes a holistic formation of our students. Supporting this, we have a number of clubs and extracurricular opportunities that students are able to take part in. These opportunities are offered in order to help support the family in raising up well-rounded and well-educated future leaders for our society.

STEM
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) elective gives students opportunities to explore, create, and innovate through hands-on projects and real-world challenges. Students develop critical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration, and creativity as they design, build, test, and improve their ideas. From engineering and robotics to coding and sustainable design, STEM encourages students to embrace challenges, learn from mistakes, and discover the joy of innovation!
Technology
Creative use of technology is the way of the future. Many students already love to create content on the topics they love. Coding is available as an elective for 6th to 8th graders with Mr. Junkin. An additional tech elective is available for 7th and 8th graders focusing on audiovisual skills (chapel support, video editing, etc.).
Handbells
Few things bring out the joy of the Christmas season like the sounds of handbells. Students in our handbell choirs learn the basics of preparing for performances in school and church events.
