At the Upper School level the athletic program is designed to teach the basic skills and concepts of team sports, to ensure good physical conditioning, and to instill in students an appreciation for non-competitive physical activities. The athletic program, which is required of all Upper School students, begins at the end of the academic day. The winter offerings for boys and girls are squash, basketball and drama, and for boys, wrestling.
Spring is dominated by lacrosse for both girls and boys, but competitive tennis is also offered.
The athletic program is a mandatory element of the Upper School curriculum and students are required to participate in at least one team sport.
