Athletics adds to your student’s high school experience.  In cooperation with The Florida Individual High School Athletic Association and Sunshine Christian League, we are able to compete in Boys and Girls Track, Boys Flag Football, Girls Flag Football, Girls Volleyball, Boys Basketball and Cheerleading.

We know that physical exercise, friendly competition and team work are important in the development of your children.  Our Middle School Sports program allows athletes of all abilities the opportunity to shine in three different leagues – The Sunshine Christian League, The Metro League and the Central Florida Lutheran Athletic Association (CFLAA).  These leagues provide competition with several schools all across Central Florida.  We proudly are sending 2 athletes to the State Track Competitions this year.

Our elementary students have the option to participate in afterschool programs throughout the school year to build skills in cheerleading, tennis, basketball and soccer.
