Athletics

At The Lower School

We believe that exercise in an essential component of a child’s education. Physical activity helps children to:
  • develop gross motor skills
  • gain familiarity with a wide range of sports, games, and movement (such as dance)
  • build essential social skills like teamwork, cooperation, and healthy competition
  • release energy so that they can focus and learn better in the classroom
In Grade 1, P.E. is one of several special classes led by the classroom teachers to minimize transitions and foster a dependable routine for the children. In Grade 2 and above, our dedicated P.E. specialist conducts the class. 

We also offer after-school sports opportunities. At the Lower School, these are integrated into our after-school classes, which always include activities such as dance, martial arts, or yoga. 

At The Middle School

Students in the Middle School can participate in co-ed team sports by season: flag football in the fall, basketball in the winter, and volleyball in the spring. 

By joining a team, they compete against teams from other independent schools that are part of the East Bay Independent Athletic League (E.B.I.A.L.). Ecole Bilingue's "Jaguars" have an excellent track record.

The Jaguars hold a total of 70 league championship titles since 1992!
