Classical Alignment
Athletics is an excellent asset of growing virtuous young men and young women who exemplify Christ. We train the affections by providing honorable rivalry that forms character for God’s glory as a public witness.
Life-long athletes
Regardless of the student athlete’s age, one of the complementary principles of the athletic program is to develop endurance, strength, coordination, self-confidence, and teamwork. Sports are a microcosm of life. In other words, many emotions emerge within a particular athletic competition or season, such as success, discouragement, confidence, defeat, struggle, and tension. Yet, truthfully, life is a struggle, which is why athletic competition is so significant in the lives of student-athletes.
Sports & Faith
Although we desire to win each competition, it is vital that we not lose sight of the fact that these activities are ultimately a means for student-athletes to grow in virtue and serve in love. We love because Christ first loved us. The life lessons that student-athletes will learn are not found in the outcomes of matches but in the process of training and competing. We delight in the opportunity to play, celebrate victory, and develop our character in the suffering that comes from struggles, adversity, and losses. Prioritizing these experiences confirms the notion that education is more than the shaping of minds solely in the classroom; it is the shaping of lives.
