Athletics

Our whole-child physical education program integrates mind, body, and heart. On our ropes course, on our two innovative playgrounds, on our interscholastic teams, students develop flexibility, resilience, and courage—physically, emotionally, and intellectually.

Every student in grades 6—9 has the opportunity to play on an interscholastic team. Sports are optional, but around 75 percent of Middle School students participate in at least one sport. Our program stresses sportsmanship, skill building, perseverance, self confidence and teamwork. Our focus is on participation and cooperation; all team members have regular opportunities for playing time.

Practices

Practices are held after-school Monday–Friday. Swim practices and home meets are held at the Albertus Magnus College pool, a quarter mile from campus.

When students join a team, they are expected to honor their commitment and attend practices and games. Students who participate in other activities such as music, dance or drama may make arrangements to miss practices or games by talking with their coaches.
