At Athenian, we develop student-athletes who are positive role models with a strong sense of fair play and commitment to their school, teammates, and coaches. Athenian coaches stress team over individual achievement, fostering social bonds across grade levels. In addition to sports-specific skills, students develop self-discipline, self-esteem, and ability to work as part of a team. The interscholastic athletic program is an integral part of the education program at Athenian and approximately 80 percent of Upper School students participate in at least one sport.
