The philosophy of the athletic program at AISR is consistent with that of the school in every aspect, and has been developed to meet the needs of our students in the elementary, middle and high school. Considering our school size and family-type atmosphere, students are encouraged to join because of the unique opportunity to participate and the social interaction that occurs within our sports program.
The athletic program aims to meet the following objectives:
Provide students with the opportunity to develop basic and more advanced, specialized athletic skills, to achieve a high level of fitness, and to increase their knowledge of the game (tactics, rules, strategies).
The student-athlete will:
- Work to grow and mature physically, emotionally and psychologically.
- Acquire an increased measure of self-discipline as well as understand his/her value in pursuit of certain, clearly defined goals. Success will most likely come through perseverance and personal initiative.
- Evaluate objectively defeat as well as success; consistently demonstrate and understand the value of fair play and sportsmanship.
- Learn to accept constructive criticism and use it as a tool for self-improvement.
- Learn to accept, respect and value necessary and responsible authority.
- Learn to appreciate that participation in athletics is a privilege which caries certain responsibilities.
The athlete will gain from exposure to a variety of different cultures and individuals through the reciprocal housing program and therefore:
- Learn to function successfully as host to incoming athletes.
- Learn to be a proper guest in another person’s home.
You will find everything you need to know about participating in sports at AISR in the Athletics Manual.
If your child will be participating in sports at AISR, we would ask you to please fill in and sign (student and parent signatures) the Athletic Agreement with your coach.
