Athletics & Activities

At Graded, learning extends far beyond the classroom. Our Athletics & Activities Program offers a wide range of opportunities that enrich students’ educational experience, foster personal growth, and strengthen our school community. Through athletics, arts, academic enrichment, leadership, service, and other extracurricular experiences, students are encouraged to explore new interests, discover hidden talents, develop new skills, and build meaningful relationships.

Open to students from Pre-K through Grade 12, the program complements the academic curriculum by providing opportunities to pursue their passions in collaborative, supportive environments while developing confidence, intercultural competence, leadership, and a lifelong love of learning.

We believe that:

  • Athletics and activities are an integral part of Graded’s educational program.
  • Every student should have the opportunity to participate and grow.
  • Students, coaches, sponsors, and advisors should model and foster cooperation, citizenship, sportsmanship, integrity, and dedication.

The program is organized into four areas: Academics & Leadership, Arts, Athletics, and Service.

Students are encouraged to participate throughout the school year. While many activities welcome new participants at any time, some are seasonal, have limited enrollment, or require auditions or tryouts. Families are encouraged to explore available opportunities and register early whenever possible.

Semester One

Upper School Athletics

Graded offers a competitive interscholastic athletics program that enriches students’ educational experience and is an integral part of a well-rounded education. Our athletics program emphasizes teamwork, school spirit, sportsmanship, and personal growth while helping students develop confidence, resilience, leadership, and lifelong healthy habits.

While competition is an important component of athletics, our primary focus is on personal development, commitment, and striving to perform at one’s best. Graded coaches serve as both teachers and role models, fostering respect, fair play, integrity, and a commitment to lifelong fitness.
