Students learn to work hard and compete while maintaining a collegial and collaborative environment. Our students develop lifelong skills, personal growth, and a strong sense of physical fitness and wellness.
As a member of the San Francisco Athletic League (SFAL), composed of several independent schools within the city, The San Francisco School Bears compete in four interscholastic sports:
- Cross Country (fall)
- Volleyball (fall)
- Basketball (winter)
- Futsal (spring)
More than 80% of our middle school (6-8th) students participate in the athletics program, and 5th graders are eligible to participate in cross country. In accordance with our mission, all interested student athletes are welcome to participate. All practices, games, and meets take place after school during the school week. Home cross country meets are held in nearby McLaren Park, and home games in volleyball, basketball, and futsal are played on campus in the Steve Morris Community Center.
