Athletics & P.E.

Physical Education helps students build confidence, coordination, teamwork, and healthy habits through movement and purposeful physical challenge, while the IB framework encourages reflection, goal-setting, and a deeper understanding of well-being.

Younger Years

In the early and elementary years, Physical Education gives students opportunities to move, play, build coordination, and become increasingly confident using their bodies. Individual skill-building is balanced with cooperative games and team activities, helping students learn how to collaborate, follow rules, and compete with respect.

Grades 4–8

Beginning in Grade 4, students build on those foundations through more structured fitness, strategy, movement, and team sports, with opportunities to participate in Pine Street School athletics. In Middle School, Physical and Health Education is part of the IB MYP curriculum, with students also setting goals, reflecting on performance, and developing a deeper understanding of health and well-being.

Co-Curricular Athletics & Teams

Beginning in Grade 4, students can represent Pine Street School as part of our Mambas athletic teams. Our mascot reflects the spirit we value in our students: mighty, quick, and determined. Go Mambas!

Team offerings are shaped by student interest and may include:

  • Swimming
  • Volleyball
  • Soccer
  • Basketball
  • Cross Country
  • Track

Through practices and competition, students develop athletic skills while learning to work toward shared goals, support their teammates, compete with integrity, and represent Pine Street School as part of a team.

Co-curricular athletic teams for Grades 4–8 are included in tuition. Offerings vary from year to year based on student interest and enrollment.
