A Message from the Director of Athletics
Athletics and physical activity are integral parts of student life at Besant Hill School. Our school strives to provide meaningful athletic activities that will instill a passion for lifelong health and wellness in our students. Our competitive team sports are built on value-based coaching with an emphasis in participation, commitment, sportsmanship, and striving to do one’s best.
Success for our student-athletes and coaches will never be defined by wins or losses but by how hard they worked to attain both their personal and team best. Our no-cut policy allows room for students of all athletic levels to have the experience of being part of a team. Following the school’s motto, Aun Aprendo “I am still Learning,” mistakes are not only expected but considered a requirement for growth.
The school offers interscholastic opportunities in: basketball, cross country running, lacrosse, soccer, tennis and volleyball.
Intramural activities we offer include: dance, drumline, golf, hiking, surfing, weight-training and yoga.
