Taking place or existing outside of school, especially activities not part of regular academic studies.
From Latin 'extra' (outside) + 'scholasticus' (relating to school, from Greek 'scholastikos' meaning scholarly, derived from 'schole' meaning leisure or school).
Colleges and employers love hearing about extrascholastic activities on your resume—it turns out that sports, clubs, and volunteering teach skills that boring textbooks never could, which is why schools actively encourage them.
