Extracurriculars

Beyond Academics

At Des Moines Prep, the student experience extends far beyond academics. We believe that joy, creativity, and a sense of community are essential to a fulfilling education, and our extracurricular offerings reflect this commitment to excellence and student-driven innovation. Through clubs, sports, and fine arts, students have the opportunity to explore their passions, build lasting friendships, and achieve personal growth.

Although no teams or groups have been officially formed yet, we are thrilled about the endless possibilities ahead. We expect to roll out the following programs:

Sports Clubs

Our offerings will continue to grow and expand each year as our student body grows and we learn more about student interests. With our world-class facilities and dedicated coaches and mentors, students will be empowered to establish and shape the programs that help define our school culture. From traditional athletics and performing arts to cutting-edge opportunities like esports and robotics, the door is wide open for our students to dream big and create.

If a student is interested in an activity that is not offered at Des Moines Prep, they will be able to access it at the school in their attendance zone, per IA Senate File 2368.

At Des Moines Prep, extracurricular programs are more than just activities—they’re a celebration of joy, excellence, and the boundless potential of our students.
