Student life at Strate is built on community, creativity, and student empowerment. The Collectif 1.5 association, made up of students from years 1 through 5, represents all student voices and helps liaise with school leadership. In addition, there are active clubs such as Assez Cool Club (ACC), Genius, Sketchelp, and Strate Club, which organise workshops, social events, and collaborative opportunities for students throughout the year. The Strate Alumni network connects current students with graduates, supporting professional development and community engagement, and today brings together a community of more than 2,500 graduates.

From its earliest days, Strate’s student associations have organised events such as parties and exhibitions, negotiated discounts on drawing materials, and ensured newcomers feel welcome. Students in their early years even have dedicated time each week to participate in association activities, helping to build a strong sense of community on campus.
