Middle School Athletics

The playing field presents valuable opportunities for character development. Sportsmanship, teamwork, and hard work—in the context of exercise and good-natured competition—all help shape honorable young men. We fully embrace the idea that a healthy body is just as important as a healthy mind.

In Middle School, all students participate in competitive sports: intramural programs in grades five and six, and interscholastic sports in grades seven and eight. Many teams are tiered to maximize participation, and every boy is expected to play in every contest. Most coaches are also classroom teachers, contributing meaningfully to the school’s spirit of camaraderie.
