What kinds of extra-curricular activities (clubs, music groups, sports teams) are offered by small schools?
Small schools offer a wide variety of extra-curricular activities. In fact, students in small schools are more likely to participate in extra-curricular activities than students in large schools. Because there are fewer students, it is easier to join in or start your own group. Some small schools may not offer all of the same teams the large schools have, but they will all offer team sports of some kind. If participating in a large band or sports team is important to you, you should focus on choosing a school-within-a-school, where your academic classes will be in your small school but extra-curricular activities draw from the entire building.
