Athletics Program

Our Athletics Program for the 2020-2021 school year is still under evaluation due to the guidelines put forth by the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH), Restore Illinois, and Be Safe. Chicago. More information will be provided as it becomes available.

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.
