Athletic Overview

An all-school focus on athleticism

An expectation of success

Our athletic program has four competitive levels: K-6, Middle School (7-8), Junior Varsity, and Varsity. We field 26 teams across 10 sports.

Even students in our Lower School (grades PreKindergarten through 3rd grade) are now actively competing in soccer, basketball, cross country, and track and field through a new league we helped create in 2022 called the Toledo Area Athletic Conference Youth League.

Our students learn early about the value of conditioning, personal commitment, and teamwork. Throughout every level and sport, success and sportsmanship are essential elements of the athletic experience.
