Included activities cover cultural programs such as bilingual theatre, an English journal, Chinese culture, and digital culture; sports programs include judo, team sports, rugby, badminton, and more than fifteen sports practiced in France, English-speaking countries and the United States, all conducted in the big gym and associated spaces; artistic activities include visual arts, music, and the creation of a comic book. The school hosts events and outings, including a bilingual end-of-year show with external performers (dance, puppetry, Irish music). In spring, each class goes on a field trip (to the farm, a medieval castle, caves, or natural spaces). The school maintains an international exchange with a Shanghai partner school, with CM2 pupils starting Chinese and learning calligraphy, exchanging letters, and spending a week there at year-end. A snow class trip to Megève for CE1 and a CM2 trip to England provide full immersion experiences. Holiday Games bilingual are held during autumn, Easter, and summer holidays, five days a week, and are open to children not enrolled at West Point.
