PHILOSOPHY AND PLACEMENT
In conjunction with the mission statement of the School, the Windward School Athletics Department seeks to achieve athletic excellence and provide experiences where students will develop a passion for their sports. The Interscholastic Athletic and Physical Education programs are designed to promote and affirm the ideas of respect, discipline, wellness, physical fitness, sportsmanship, leadership, and teamwork, while engaging the student fully in mind, body, and spirit.
REQUIREMENTS
All Middle School students have Physical Education scheduled during Seventh Period. Students choose Physical Education, Yoga, Dance, or competitive, interscholastic sports teams each trimester, although yoga is only available when a sufficient number of students elect this option. Students on athletic teams begin practice during Seventh Period and continue until 3:30 Monday-Thursday. Participation on a sports team is not guaranteed; some Middle School teams have tryouts and make selections.
To fulfill Windward’s two years of physical education in grades 9-12 graduation requirement, all students in grade 9 must enroll in Physical Education: Peak Performance, or Dance. Students in grades 10-12 can choose to be enrolled in Sports Training, Physical Education: Peak Performance, Independent Study Physical Education, or Dance.
