Athletics Program
FXW’s athletic program is an integral part of our commitment to nurturing the whole child. We believe that physical activity promotes mental, physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. The mission of FXW’s athletic program is to foster the growth of well-rounded, confident young adults in an age-appropriate manner. Our program emphasizes the importance of four key areas:
- Social, Emotional, and Physical development through athletics
- Meeting the individual needs of all students
- Modeling a learning process that includes self-discipline, respect, success, and failure
- Giving all students the opportunity to participate in athletics
The athletic program, starting in Grade 2, offers students the opportunity to explore competitive sports in a safe way. Trained coaches emphasize sportsmanship, teamwork, integrity and self-discipline while commending individual effort and commitment. We also believe that activities on the playing fields and courts are an extension of the classroom.
