Athletics

Lacrosse sticks up

We believe in fostering a spirit of adventure, teamwork, and personal growth through a diverse range of athletic opportunities tailored for students in Grades 5 through 8.

Our program encourages students to step out of their comfort zones and discover new strengths—whether it’s the thrill of an off-campus Adventure Trip, the challenge of conquering our on-campus Ropes Course, or the camaraderie of team sports. Each experience is designed to build resilience, confidence, and collaboration, ensuring that every student finds a path to personal achievement and growth, no matter their skill level or athletic interest.

Through these activities, students not only develop physical abilities but also critical life skills such as leadership, problem-solving, and perseverance. From the exhilaration of teamwork on the sports field to the quiet moments of reflection atop the ropes course, our athletic opportunities are about more than just sports—they’re about shaping well-rounded individuals ready to take on any challenge.

   

OUR PHILOSOPHY: "WIN THE DAY"

Our "Win the Day" philosphy emphasizes setting achievable daily goals and celebrating small victories. Success is defined by the commitment to bettering themselves each day, not by the scoreboard. 

We aim to develop well-rounded individuals equipped to face challenges both on and off the field. They understand the significance of teamwork, leadership, and a positive attitude. "Win the Day" is not just a slogan; it’s a way of life that inspires our athletes to strive for excellence and live with purpose and integrity.

OUR MANTRA: "BEST EFFORT, BEST ATTITUDE, BEST TEAMMATE"

Our mantra, "Best Effort, Best Attitude, Best Teammate," encapsulates the values we closely hold. We encourage our students to give their best in every situation, maintain a positive attitude, and always support their teammates. By striving to embody these principles, our athletes develop a strong sense of responsibility and camaraderie.They learn that true success comes from dedication, a positive mindset, and being a reliable and supportive team member. This mantra not only guides their behavior on the field but also shapes their character, preparing them for all aspects of life.
