Athletics
The Study’s Athletics Department strives to provide all students with opportunities to increase their level of competency in a variety of team and individual sports in a competitive setting. The Athletics program emphasizes the development of both the mind and body of athletes, along with fitness, participation and fun!
Athletics teachers and coaches are responsible, through their example and commitment, for developing athletes who are disciplined, responsible towards themselves and others and dedicated to excellence. They aim to teach students that while skill level and game knowledge are important, so are attitude, effort, concentration, commitment and a willingness to lean. The Study’s athletes develop a sense of pride in winning, as well as a sense of fair play, good sportsmanship and compassion, which in turn enhances dedication and school pride.
Interscholastic Athletics in the Senior School
The Study seeks to provide all Senior School students with opportunities to increase their level of competency in a variety of team and individual sports in a competitive setting. About 80 percent of Senior School students participate in at least one interscholastic sport. The Study is an active member of the GMAA (Greater Montreal Athletics Association), MIS (Montreal Independent Schools), QAIS (Quebec Association of Independent Schools) and CAIS (Canadian Association of independent Schools) leagues and has teams at three age levels in most tournaments.
The school’s athletics program emphasizes fitness, participation and fun and helps develop young athletes who are disciplined, dedicated to excellence and responsible towards themselves and others. In addition to improving students’ skill level and game knowledge, we strive to develop a pride in winning, as well as a sense of fair play, good sportsmanship and compassion, believing that this will in turn lead to a greater sense of dedication and school pride.
