Summary: Athletics are thoroughly integrated into our school’s educational program. Student-athletes at Stoneleigh-Burnham learn the value of teamwork and the lessons of athletic competition. Our motto is: “Win without boasting, lose without excuse!” Each student will find her place in our athletic program, from the advanced player to the novice. Every season provides an opportunity to acquire skills, experience leadership, and grow personally. At a small school like ours you are not only a part of the team, you make an immediate impact. With health and wellness the objective, we offer a range of athletics from interscholastic competition, to a fitness option, to activities girls can pursue for a lifetime. In particular, the dance department at the Stoneleigh-Burnham School is designed to aid girls in the development of kinesthetic intelligence and to provide opportunities for self-expression and communication. Through their courses, dancers build self-esteem and strength. With class offerings from the beginning to advanced and IB levels, girls discover that dance is an art form that links mind and body.
