Athletics
The elementary students are offered the intramural sports of soccer, basketball, and track during the designated season. The middle school students are offered soccer, basketball and track. Every student that wants to be on the team is able to be on it, with the exception of athletic probation because of grades. With the exception of track, the sport is split into an A-team and a B-team, with the A-team players having the higher level of skill. The teams compete with other private schools throughout RI. The A-team basketball players usually compete in a tournament at the end of the season. The track team members travel to PA to compete in the ACSI track meet in May.
As the highschool grows, more and more sports will be offered. In the first year of the highschool, track and girls basketball were offered. The girls basketball team only consisted of freshmen, but the team had a winning season with coach Sandra Boutcher. The second year, track, girls basketball, and boys basketball were offered. The girls basketball team really excelled in the second year of the program with Ed Guida coaching. The team competed against teams from RI, MA, and CT and came out with a winning season. The team competed in the ACSI Tournament in Vermont and placed third in a Varsity tournmant with only freshmen and sophomores on the team. Although the boys basketball team did not have a winning season, the boys improved greatly under the coaching of A.D. Al Wright. In Fall of 2008, a Co-Ed Soccer team was added to the high school program. Boys and girls basketball is scheduled for the winter season, track for spring, and possibly a collaboration of softball with another Christian high school.
