All St. Croix students are encouraged to participate in activities outside the classroom. Students participate in athletics to try a new sport, improve their existing skills or compete against the high level athletes. Interscholastic and club athletics include cross-country, cheerleading, football, soccer, volleyball, hockey, basketball, dance team, wrestling, baseball, swimming, golf, softball, track & field, and tennis.

Many students choose to participate in drama, journalism, speech team, jazz band, select singing groups, math ompetitions, peer listeners, and several leadership groups. Please see the Student Activities section to view more details about all of these opportunities at St. Croix.

International students have the opportunity to participate in fun activities and in a variety of cultural events throughout Minneapolis and St. Paul. Students enjoy the changing seasons with a planned activity each week including swimming, canoeing, skiing, or spending time inside at the Mall of America or nearby theaters. Planned outings take students to museums and cultural festivals where they experience a diverse mix of international flavor. Please see the Twin Cities and Culture links to view more information about the extensive experiences available through St. Croix.

I would encourage international students to join an after-school sports program or club and participate in other activities because that will give you a complete study abroad experience.” Anthea Chow, Class of 2002, University of Washington, M.A. Cornell University, HR Employee of Microsoft Corporation
