Athletics

Facilitating Personal Growth

Hill School’s athletic department features a comprehensive physical education program for all students, with many opportunities to participate on an athletic team for grades 5 – 12. At Hill School, we believe all students should be afforded the chance to learn hard work, cultivate camaraderie, and experience the love of the game.

Dependent on the level of interest and available players in each division, we are proud to offer athletics year-round for boys and girls.

Athletics are about much more than physical activity and competition. Athletics teach teamwork through the development of cooperative skills, personal discipline, promote health, and teach lessons about facing and overcoming challenges. Athletic programs at Hill School enhance our academic vision and provide skills and strategies for success.

Physical Education

Health and wellness plays a vital role in a student’s ability to learn and be actively engage in the classroom. All Hill School students attend a Physical Education class each day.

Hill School extends its athletic opportunities beyond its own student body by welcoming homeschooled students who participate in local co-ops to join its sports teams. This inclusive approach provides homeschool athletes the chance to develop their skills, experience teamwork, and compete in a structured environment while representing the school.
