Athletics

Upper School Athletics

Our athletes compete with great success in Section VIII of Nassau County Public High School Athletic Association. Though we are the smallest school in the association – and the only independent school – we've fielded championship teams in eight different sports for boys and girls in recent years and have won numerous awards for good sportsmanship. And the opportunities to be an athlete and a leader are far greater here than at most larger schools. 

Middle School Athletics

Through physical education and athletics, Middle School students develop skills of athleticism and fitness, while learning to understand the values of team, school, and community.

In 5th and 6th grade, all students participate in physical education. Meanwhile, all 7th and 8th graders participate in a team sport each season, with practices built into the school day. 

Athletics should foster values such as; cooperation, a strong work ethic, fair play, grace in victory and defeat, and respect for teammates, coaches, opponents, and officials. Athletics develop individual skills, provide opportunity for personal enjoyment, and give a sense of belonging and accomplishment.
