The Sports Program is designed for 4th to 8th graders. 4th graders start with an introductory program to the sports and teams are divided into those of equal talent. This means that no scores are kept and the participants are assigned to teams to ensure that no team is stronger than the other.

Beginning 5th grade, the game scores are kept and the participants are divided into the teams on the basis of their strengths in that sport.

Fees are charged per child to assist with the cost of renting facilities to hold the sport events. In addition, a replacement fee will be charged if a uniform is returned damaged at the end of the school year.
