Our Programs

Athletics

Interscholastic athletics for grades 7 to 12 and physical education for preschool to grade 6 are an integral part of the overall program at Friends.

List of 3 items.

  • Athletics Program Highlights

    • Students are required to participate in sports-- three seasons in middle school and at least one in upper school.
    • There is an opportunity for every athlete at each level to learn and grow in our program.
    • Friends teams accommodate students at all skill levels, with some engaging in higher levels of competition at the conference and state levels and others emphasizing skill development and participation.
    • Our high school varsity teams regularly make the State tournaments, meets, and matches––oftentimes in multiple rounds.
    • Both our Girls' Tennis and Football teams won their respective State Championships in 2022.
