Athletics
The athletic program has been designed to be broad enough to prepare gifted athletes to compete at the college level while, at the same time, insuring that all students are exposed to the lifelong benefits of athletics and physical fitness. Development of mind, body, and soul in harmony with Bishop's academic standards of excellence embodies the goal of the athletic program. A healthy competitive spirit, within the bounds of good sportsmanship and fair play, is encouraged and supported by the coaches and the School.
In the course of a school year 70 percent of Bishop's Upper School students play on one or more of the 40 varsity and junior varsity teams. The success of Bishop's student athletes is recognizable by the banners hanging in the Eva May Fleet Athletic Center representing League and CIF championship titles. The middle school program offers a transition from recreational play to upper school competition; and more than half of the middle school students play on at least one of 12 sports teams.
