At Applewild we move, we play, and we get outside! Activity and movement are prioritized at Applewild to make the school day engaging and balanced for our students. Our students travel around campus for classes in different locations, break for snack and recess every day, and regularly participate in PE and sports. Applewild students are always moving!
Team Sports
In 6th grade our students join our team sports programs, using the foundational skills they developed in K-5. Applewild student-athletes develop good sportsmanship and confidence, understand the value of teamwork and trying their best, and realize that win or lose, they are improving every day.
No matter what the venue, Applewild athletics maintains its emphasis on inclusivity, teamwork, and respect. Our no-cut policy ensures that Applewild students of all skill levels get to have fun and improve on the field.
Perseverance
Learning to demonstrate perseverance on the court or overcome adversity on the field are lessons transferable to the classroom and life.

PE Program
Beginning in Kindergarten, our PE program is designed to introduce skills to promote fitness, improve body control, spatial awareness and motor skills, and encourage collaboration and good sportsmanship. Our younger students play games, learn the basics of different sports, and spend plenty of time outdoors, sometimes hiking in the hundreds of acres of conservation land surrounding our campus.
