The Difference is Passion

Opportunities abound for our students to participate and achieve through our physical education, wellness and athletics programs.  At GDS, winning is not our only goal - we seek to build character and develop life skills that extend beyond the playing field.  At every grade level, our students are challenged to learn skills and teamwork in an age appropriate environment, building the confidence they need to succeed throughout life.

Quick Facts:

•  Over 84% of Middle & Upper School students participate in interscholastic and intramural athletics.
• Competitive athletic programs: we field over 40 teams (boys and girls) and have claimed over 30 state championships since 1983. 
• Every Upper School student learns CPR and how to use an Automated External Defibrillator.
