Extracurricular activities

Extracurricular activities are activities performed by students that fall outside the realm of the normal curriculum of school or university education. Extracurricular activities exist at all levels of education, from 4th-6th, junior high/middle school, high school, college and university education. On average, in the United States, students participate in a minimum of one exracurricular activity throughout the course of one school year. Such activities are generally voluntary as opposed to mandatory, non-paying, tend to be Athletics, social, and philanthropic as opposed to scholastic, and involve others of the same age. Students often organize and direct these activities under faculty sponsorship; although student-led initiatives - such as independent newspapers - are common.

I gave my answer as an American English variation -- what I felt was the most common way of expressing this.

Such as clubs, etc, that students attend outside of school time.
