Athletics, as extra-curricular activities, are an essential part of our educational philosophy. We prioritize academic excellence, responsible citizenship, and the physical, intellectual, and emotional well-being of every student.
Through sports, students develop confidence, teamwork, and resilience, qualities that complement our bilingual academic program and prepare them for success both on and off the field.

AEFE–UNSS Sports League
in North America
Our international and national, across North America, tournaments organized through the AEFE–UNSS Sports League, are designed for students in Grade 7 and above. These athletic events give young competitors the opportunity to challenge themselves, develop strong sportsmanship, and experience high-level competition beyond their local environment. By participating in diverse sporting disciplines and meeting teams from different cultural backgrounds, students not only strengthen their physical skills but also broaden their global awareness. These enriching experiences fully support our educational vision, which promotes teamwork, resilience, curiosity, and learning through active engagement.

- Lifelong healthy habits
