Some of these CCAs are highly distinctive to AES. For example:

• AES is one of only 8 secondary schools offering Judo CCA in Singapore. Judo cultivates self-discipline, respect, and mental and physical resilience, while also improving reflexes, coordination, and focus.

• AES is one of only 10 School Football Academies in Singapore. As part of the Unleash The Roar! national project, we collaborate with the Football Association of Singapore (FAS) and Sport Singapore (SportSG) to provide a high-quality training environment using a sports science and technology approach and with an emphasis on character development.

• AES’ National Cadet Corps (Sea) unit is one of only 15 sea units in Singapore. As part of this elite group, our cadets learn directly from Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) personnel, gaining valuable insights into maritime defence. Leadership, resilience, and seamanship are developed through authentic experiences.

• AES English Language Drama & Debate Society (ELDDS) uniquely blends two vibrant strands - Drama and Debate - giving students diverse opportunities to develop skills that stretch across performance, persuasion and critical thinking.
