Mission Statement
The mission of the Commonwealth Academy athletic program is to provide students with learning experiences that will enhance their academic, social, physical, and mental growth. We offer four different sports with opportunities to improve skills under the tutelage of experienced coaches, where teams have the chance to compete in an independent school league with postseason playoffs. Importantly, all students, regardless of ability level, will have an opportunity to participate in their desired sport. Through Commonwealth Academy’s athletic program, students will learn to embody the values of sportsmanship, teamwork, discipline, and commitment.
Philosophy Statement
• Commonwealth Academy believes that interscholastic athletics can provide valuable opportunities for its participants to develop their confidence and self-esteem.
• We believe that the athletic program should take an active role to promote good sportsmanship and appropriate conduct from athletes, coaches, and fans.
• We believe that academic success and achievement is our program and school’s top priority, and that participation in sports should be viewed as an extension of such learning opportunities.
• We believe that participation in sports should foster fun and positive experiences for those involved, regardless of the outcome of a contest.
• We believe that the athletic program should play a role in unifying the school and greater community.
• We believe that the sports program should provide a safe environment in which to compete, that also encourages athletes to take risks while striving to maximize their potential.
