Sportsmanship

Stuart Hall promotes sportsmanship by encouraging students to embody respect, fairness, and kindness during all physical activities. Through teachings that emphasize the dignity of every person and the importance of community, students learn to support their teammates, honor their opponents, and handle both victories and setbacks with humility and grace. This approach helps foster a positive and inclusive environment where character development is just as important as athletic skill. These principles transcend students in PK3 through 7th grade.

Participation

Stuart Hall emphasizes participation as one of the principal benefits to playing a sport.  The following objectives are emphasized when participating in a sport at Stuart Hall:

1. Learn the skills of the sport

2. Work as a team member

3. Represent your school

4. Give your best effort

Stuart Hall has a "no-cut" policy, but there are participation requirements that affect playing time and team membership.  Extra-curricular sports are offered to the Lower School students on a less structured basis.
