The purpose of the Bush Athletics Program is to provide opportunities for continued physical, social, and personal development in a challenging, inclusive and fun environment.

Athletics plays an essential role in The Bush School community, whether students are active participants or general supporters of the program. Dedicated coaches make the athletic experience a time of learning and growth for all athletes. The coaching staff emphasizes fundamental technical, tactical, and emotional skills needed to succeed in interscholastic play while developing  positive values and social competencies such as sportspersonship, teamwork, perseverance, time-management, and ethical judgment. Participants are able to apply the outcome of these invaluable life lessons on and off the playing fields; during their time at Bush and beyond.

Bush follows a no-cut philosophy, which allows any student who shows commitment, demonstrates a desire to develop as an individual athlete and team player, and understands the importance of being a positive contributor to be placed on a team. Athletes at The Bush School are asked to work hard, to regularly engage in their team activities, and most importantly to have fun. While most sports are offered separately for boys and girls, students of all gender identities have the opportunity to participate in the Bush Athletics Program. The Athletics Department staff is committed to working collaboratively with each family to determine options that best suit each student-athlete’s journey.
