The School at Columbia University believes that school and all of its associated
activities are created to educate and that all students have the right to learn in a
safe, creative environment. The priority of our school is to teach students how to
be successful and integral members of their community as well as become lifelong
learners. Athletics is one way in which students can expand their knowledge. The
Athletics program is an extension of The School at Columbia University’s academic vision. Athletics is a privilege afforded to students as a way to expand their knowledge and skills. The Athletics program is designed to provide students with an additional way to learn, practice, and demonstrate skills. Through skill practice and games, student athletes will learn about competition, sportsmanship, and teamwork. Though not focused solely on competition, The School at Columbia University’s Athletics program allows student athletes to be able to experience competition in a safe and healthy environment. Student athletes learn how to balance hard work, skill improvement, and competition both on and off the field. They will have the opportunity to learn alongside fellow students and with
coaches who share the same love of sport and movement and want to share the
experience with one another.
