Athletics at Park

Consistent with the Park School philosophy, character development is an essential component of our athletics program. Our physical education classes and interscholastic teams strive to teach basic skills, produce confident, conscientious, and ethical athletes, and encourage a lifetime model for fitness and health.

Through sport, competition, and physical challenges students learn life lessons that differ from their classroom experiences. They learn to reconcile the independent thinking encouraged in their academic studies with the community goals set by coaches and teammates. What remains consistent however is the role of teachers and coaches in educating and guiding students through these lessons.

The Athletic Department provides opportunities for all athletes to reach their potential and compete in an environment where their experiences are positive and rewarding. The physical education program in all divisions offers a range of activities designed to develop fitness, agility, and game stills. Beginning in fourth grade, interscholastic teams learn game fundamentals and strategies, work on conditioning and fitness, and understand the importance of perseverance, fighting against odds, and winning with humility and integrity. We value both participation and competitive drive.Teams go into every game expecting to win and into every season expecting to be champions.
