Athletics are an integral part of Commonwealth’s program, important to a student’s physical, emotional and social development. Both competitive and non-competitive sports teach children good sportsmanship, teamwork, endurance and self-discipline and give them additional avenues for setting and achieving personal goals. Within the framework of a small school, we offer numerous opportunities for involvement in sports.

Middle and high school students attend physical education classes at the neighboring YMCA, enjoyING a wide variety of sports including basketball, swimming, track and soccer. They learn the fundamentals of various sports, play scrimmage games and enjoy the Annual Students vs. Faculty Basketball game. Many Wednesday Clubs are athletic in nature as well: Rock Climbing, Basketball, Soccer, Swimming, and Golfing.

The Commonwealth Cougars basketball team plays other area schools at a competitive level.
