Paideia Sports
Paideia encourages all students in the junior high and high school to participate on its sports teams. Ten sports are offered in junior high and high school: soccer, volleyball, cross country, softball, basketball, swimming, baseball, track, tennis, and ultimate. The school’s athletic program emphasizes participation, quality instruction, and teamwork. One third of the high school students participate in intramural sports. Every student who wants to play a sport and who comes to practices and games faithfully will have an opportunity to play. This includes Varsity, but there is no guarantee of the amount of playing time on Varsity teams. We believe that every student should have the chance to enjoy the experience of playing a sport and to benefit from the discipline and hard work inherent in that kind of participation. Many elementary students and their families enjoy attending Paideia sports events.
