Gymnasium & True Sport
What is the structure and purpose of the human body? At SJI we believe physical excellence must be a response to this question. Our students will run, crawl, roll, and jump, and grow in heroic, magnanimous spirit as they are challenged in classic exercises.
In competitive sports, love, honor and virtue – rather than mere victory – are understood to be the goals of any match. In festive or non-competitive exercises, the joy of the activity itself leads students to pursue excellence. Preference is always given to sports and activities that quicken or quiet the mind, promote graceful movement, delight the students and their community, and foster bonds of fellowship among the students.
