Doing & Making: Athletics & Arts

Exercise and creative practice make a well-rounded individual, and are important ways to practice being present and mindful in a less formal way. Fitness programming and art education increase confidence, and actually help the brain rewire itself by building more flexible neural pathways. This boosts memory, motor skills, and sense of well being.

Many of our students are talented athletes, and we have five competitive sports teams. Our new gymnasium has a regulation-sized basketball court, with multi-sport flexibility for tennis, volleyball, floor hockey, and other games. It also houses a weight room, cardio studio, and locker rooms. Our fine arts building hosts some of our most popular courses such as mosaics, painting, pottery, drawing, and arts & crafts. A quality fine arts enrichment program allows students to develop self-discipline, intuition, reasoning, imagination, as well as the kinesthetic and visual intelligence they can apply to other subject areas. In celebrating the practice of creativity and wellness, we support the integration of sports and art into campus life, to help students develop healthy lifelong habits.
