Creative Activities
Our students benefit from a variety of expression activities, where they can think creatively, work together, learn new skills, exercise their perseverance and express their identities and thoughts.
Creativity and Culture
Students try out a wide range of activities across fields such as art, music and sports using Students try out a wide range of activities across fields such as art, music, dance and drama, using purpose-built facilities such as our music rooms, amphitheatres and exercise studios. They gain experience not only in their chosen activities, but in teamwork, perseverance, responsibility and leadership as they specialise during their senior years.
At AKA Hyderabad, students have the opportunity to choose from over 60 clubs. Every Wednesday, classes after lunch are dedicated to club meets for Senior School students. Students go to their respective clubs, where they learn new skills. While not all clubs have expert advisors, teachers provide guidance to ensure a safe and engaging environment for all participants.
Our activities take place according to demand, availability or student initiatives, and in recent years, students have been able to try:
- Model United Nations
- Mindfulness Club
- Robotics Club
- Crochet Club
- Skateboarding
In the Robotics Club, students learn about different technologies and build their own prototypes.
Mastering skateboarding comes through teamwork, shared learning and mutual support.
The Academy encourages young authors to develop the skills they need to publish their own books.
Art exhibitions at the Academy allow students to display their art and receive feedback.
Students learn how to play different musical instruments and perform them on stage in events.
Supported by staff members, the Crochet Club is a popular choice at the Academy.
Rhythm at the Academy
Stomping has long been a popular and highly appealing musical style performed at AKA Hyderabad.
Deviating from the traditional practices of using musical instruments, this form of music is created through drumming beats on recycled items and everyday tools, such as plastic containers, tin boxes, cycle parts, etc.
Stomping at the Academy was started in 2018 by Telugu teacher and departmental head Dr Saikrishna Ranga with only 10 students. Soon, it became a favourite activity among students because of its uniqueness and energising rhythmic beats.
Starting with the idea that music can be created anywhere and with anything, the art form gained popularity. Today with more than 70 students, stomping has become one of the more eccentric and engaging art forms represented on campus.
Mapping Dreams Through Poetry
Grade 8 student and young author Arunima Ghosh published her first collection of poetry, “Mapping My Muse”.
A passionate writer since the age of seven, Arunima has been deeply inspired by the strong culture of reading, writing and reflection at AKA Hyderabad. From engaging language classes that spark imagination to thoughtful library periods that encourage exploration and self-expression, the Academy has nurtured the author in Arunima.
These experiences have helped her refine her voice, experiment with style and convey her thoughts with depth, emotion and clarity.
Her poems, inspired by school life, society and her beloved dog, beautifully balance sensitivity and honesty, reflecting how the Academy’s nurturing environment has shaped her into a confident, creative and thoughtful young poet.
