Senior School Athletics and Physical Education

We believe strongly that "a healthy mind in a healthy body" is a key part of your education at SMUS. That's why we have a robust athletics program that provides you with lots of opportunities to be active, join teams, and focus on your health and well-being.

There are two ways for you to stay physically active at SMUS: in physical education class and by playing sports.

Taking a physical education course is part of your school schedule at the Senior School. You'll enjoy playing traditional school sports with your classmates, including rugby, squash, and soccer. In addition, you'll have the chance to try sports that aren't usually part of a physical education class, such as fencing and wheelchair basketball.

There are also lots of formal and informal ways to be active at SMUS outside of class time, including playing on a competitive team and participating in non-competitive sports. Joining a team is a great way to feel part of the community and research shows that keeping fit has a positive impact on your studies.
