Co-curricular programmes provide students the opportunity to try out activities, acquire new knowledge and develop existing abilities. The central task is to strengthen personal growth, encourage learning and promote World Citizens Made in Dresden through exchange and collaboration between students. Secondary School participation in co-curricular activities is encouraged to help students use their free time constructively and achieve balance. Most co-curricular activities are offered for free; some may be charged when led by external providers or when travel or tournament fees apply.
MUN club is backed by the Förderverein, and participation in events such as the European Youth Parliament conference is enabled.
The Förderverein raises funds to support school projects and student life and offers and organises three sports clubs: DIS Swim Club, DIS Golf Club and DIS Ski Club as part of the co-curricular programme. It funds projects such as guest speakers, sports tournaments and the school extension, and supports sustainability initiatives on campus.

The Secondary School has a DIS Student Voice Coalition with a Student Advisory Board, and leadership opportunities exist through the co-curricular programme and by planning and facilitating school events.
