Athletics

King’s Academy strives to foster a competitive-collaborative environment, in which our students shine as individuals and also learn the value and joy of teamwork. We encourage each student to participate in a variety of physical activities that provide both relaxation from their rigorous academic schedules and boundless benefits for their bodies, minds and souls. Sports and physical fitness activities will be a regular part of each student’s curriculum.

To this end, King’s Academy has constructed an impressive 5,548 square-meter indoor athletic center accommodating a semi-Olympic swimming pool, squash courts, a multi-purpose court, a central gymnasium and exercise facilities. The campus also contains a number of outdoor facilities, including a soccer/track stadium, and tennis, basketball and handball courts. Separate dressing rooms are available for boys and girls, and pool use is scheduled in an alternate fashion for boys and girls. The Athletic Center is a major campus facility: it provides a venue for daily activities, intramural team sports, regional competitions and exhibitions, and hosts many outside visitors and spectators each season.

The athletic program at King's Academy emphasizes leadership, ethical conduct and fair play; it encourages students to understand the importance of participating to the best of their abilities in addition to emphasizing individual and team participation. We strive to teach students commitment and leadership skills, both essential components of participating on a team. Through daily practice, students develop their skill level and learn to value perseverance.

Our objective is to provide an atmosphere where one can learn and put into practice concepts of fair play and sportsmanship. Students learn to work cooperatively, accept defeat, make decisions under pressure, and react to such pressure in an appropriate manner. The program seeks to provide worthwhile and meaningful activities which our students may pursue throughout their time at King’s Academy, and often on into their adult lives.

King's Academy's athletic activities include badminton, basketball, cross country, dancing, fencing, fitness, handball, horsemanship, outdoor adventure skills, soccer, squash, swimming, table tennis, tennis, track and field and volleyball.
