Recreation Academy

Enrollment and Acceptance into St. Edmund

Students are accepted in accordance with ECSD Administrative Procedure 300.

Student acceptance into a sport academy has additional requirements, which include:

• Minimum skill level.

• Space.

• Ability to participate independently.

• Ability to positively contribute to the competitive nature of the academy.

In order to run the academy efficiently, some students may be accepted into an academy that are non-resident/non-catchment area students. In these cases:

• Acceptance into an academy program does NOT entitle siblings or members of the same household to also attend St. Edmund.

• Removal or withdrawal from an academy program will require students to return to their designated school.

🏅 Recreation Academy — Where Passion Meets Performance

Unleash Your Potential

At St. Edmund’s Recreation Academy, students don’t just learn — they move, train, explore, and excel.
Our mission is simple: to build strong, confident, active students who understand what it means to live a lifelong healthy lifestyle. Through high‑energy activities, hands-on learning, and expert guidance, students level up their fitness, wellness, and athletic experiences every single week.

🚀 What Makes Our Program Stand Out

A Training Ground for Life

Students dive into a dynamic mix of recreation, sport, and wellness experiences designed to build:

• Real fitness skills

• Knowledge of proper nutrition

• Functional training and athletic development

• A mindset rooted in balance, confidence, and personal growth.

🏃 High‑Energy Weekly Experiences

Recreation Academy students train an average of four times a week — keeping them active, engaged, and constantly improving. Sessions include:

• Alternative & recreational sports

• Strength, conditioning, and exercise science foundations

• Cross‑training to build well‑rounded athleticism

• Sport management and leadership learning

• Wellness sessions focused on health and nutrition.

📘 Academics + Athletics = A Winning Combination

Our Recreation Academy blends seamlessly with IB‑infused core curriculum. Students receive:

• Strong academic instruction in Math, Science, Social Studies, and ELA

• One complementary option class

• Integrated physical education and health learning outcomes designed through Academy programming
   

We push for excellence on the field, in the gym, and in the classroom.

💥 Who Thrives Here?

The Recreation Academy is built for students who:

• Love sport and movement

• Crave variety and new challenges

• Want to grow as leaders and teammates

• Are curious about recreation, fitness, or sport‑related careers

• Enjoy learning through action, collaboration, and hands‑on experiences
   

If your child is active, energetic, and eager to try new experiences, this program is the perfect fit.
