“How does an online school have student clubs?”

It’s a common question we hear, as many people seem to think that online school means falling off the face of the earth. High school is where you go to socialize, after all!

And perhaps a decade ago, that would be true. In this digital age, however, connecting with students throughout the state is easier than ever.

Primavera has utilized technology tools to ensure our online high school students have several opportunities socialize. Students can meet classmates and make friends many ways at Primavera. You can learn more here.

One of the ways to get involved at Primavera is by joining a student club. Scroll through the nine clubs below, take the quiz to find your ideal club and learn how to join below.

Performing Arts/Drama

There is no better way to deepen students understanding of themselves and others than to foster their interest and love for live theatre.

We are artists, singers, volunteers, students and teachers coming together to combine both our theatre and community together. The club will meet twice a month and participate in several off-campus events such as attending ASU Gammage performances.  We will also culminate in an informal theater production and one-act play performances. Some workshops will be given as well.

If you are interested in joining the Performing Arts/Drama club, email [email protected].

How Online Student Clubs Work at Primavera

Online student clubs are very similar to student clubs at a traditional school. There are meetings to attend and fun events to join in. The only difference is you can interact with classmates and make friends from the comfort of your home, in your pajamas if you choose!

Every club meets online twice monthly. If you join the club, you are not required to attend every meeting, but we definitely encourage it! You’ll tune in online through the PSP and discuss certain topics with a club advisor and club members. If you are in a creative club, such as the Art Club or Creative Writing, you will get to display your work and view other student’s creative pieces. This is a great way to meet people who share your same interests.

The meeting times vary per club. If you would like to know a specific time, email the clubs. You can find that in the “About Primavera’s Student Clubs section above ??.

Each month, clubs also have in-person events to attend. Again, these are not mandatory, but we encourage you to attend. The events happen at various places throughout the state. Activities range from First Fridays in Downtown Phoenix to Fear Farm in Glendale to volunteering at St. Vincent de Paul.

Clubs also participate in planning and decorating for Primavera’s prom, which occurs in May.
