Overview and Offerings

The Washington International School’s athletic program embodies the mission, philosophy and objectives of the School and fosters the development of character, life skills, sportsmanship and teamwork. Physical education programs are an important part of the weekly program for students from Pre-Kindergarten to Grade 12.

In addition, at the Primary School, students in Grade 4 and 5 may participate in an afternoon program in soccer, basketball, and baseball, providing the students with the opportunity to strengthen skills for participation in the athletic program at the Middle and Upper Schools.

Middle and Upper School teams compete in the Potomac Valley Athletic Conference (PVAC), a league consisting of 16 private schools in the DC metropolitan area. League members are required to conduct all competition in a spirit of good sportsmanship.
